Have you ever considered SSuite Office as a free alternative to MS Office?
Their software also doesn’t need to run on Java or .NET, like MS Office and so many open source office suites, so it makes their software very small, efficient, and easy to use.
There are probably many other alternatives as well. Thanks for the input!
Another good read, free is always good especially when it can hold up to the top notch brands.
What about StarOffice, via Google Pack?
