It's easy to use and you can save files in a way that they will be able to be opened in other programs. It is a free version of Microsoft Office, which is what makes it a desirable software to have and if you save things in the right format, it is compatible with MO.

While there are many similarities to things like Microsoft Word, there are just enough differences to make you have to search for what you need sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Calculator is not that good as in other similar products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My "favorite" thing about open office is the fact that it offers several different types of documents such as spreadsheets, word, text, presentation, & drawing. Mostly use it for the word documents to create flyers and company brochures & we can easily add in our company logo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While open office is great, it does not have as many options as other word programs may offer, but for the most part, no complaints Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's Free. Not much more can be said about a program that you don't have to pay for. It has a pretty full feature-set and doesn't have some of the annoying quirks that come with Microsoft Office, particularly Excel's annoying automatic column formatting which changes UPCs into scientific notation nonsense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The program seems to have some sort of a memory leak which cause copying and pasting from within the program to another take a few seconds. If you copy a cell in Calc and try to paste into Chrome you may have to wait five seconds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part about this software is that it is completely free. It works similar to Word, and has mostly the same functions, so, if you know how to use Word, you will feel completely confident using Open Office. It has the same default settings and the paper sheets and options (fonts, colors, size) is exactly the same and put together into a similar user interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike is that most computers do not have this software and have Word instead. Even when you save the documents into the .doc/.docx format, the format of your document would normally change when opened with Word. As an instructor at a university, this is a huge inconvenient, as my powerpoints will not look the same in class as they did in my computer. Also, the default document type will be .opt, and, if you are not careful enough, you will save your documents in this format, which you won't be able to open in most computers that do not have this software.
