Apache OpenOffice
is the leading open-source office software suite
for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations,
graphics, databases and more. It is available
in many languages
and works on all common computers. It stores all your data in an
international open standard format and can also read and write
files from other common office software packages. It can be
downloaded and used completely free of charge for any purpose.
Great software
Apache OpenOffice is the result of over twenty years' software
engineering. Designed from the start as a single piece of software,
it has a consistency other products cannot match. A completely open
development process means that anyone can report bugs, request
new features, or enhance the software.
The result: Apache OpenOffice does everything you want your
office software to do, the way you want it to.
Easy to use
Apache OpenOffice is easy to learn, and if you're already using another
office software package, you'll take to OpenOffice straight away.
Our world-wide native-language community means that
OpenOffice is probably available and supported in your own language.
And if you already have files from another office package - OpenOffice
will probably read them with no difficulty.
And it's free
Best of all, Apache OpenOffice can be downloaded and used entirely
free of any licence fees. Apache OpenOffice is released under the Apache 2.0
Licence. This means you may use it for any purpose - domestic,
commercial, educational, public administration. You may install it
on as many computers as you like. You may make copies and give them
away to family, friends, students, employees - anyone you like. Source
