Alternative Office

There are many low cost and even free alternatives to the Microsoft Office suite. A selection of these alternative office suites are included on this disc...

OpenOffice.org 3
The leading open-source office software suite for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, databases and more. It stores all your data in an international open standard format and can also read and write files from other common office software packages. Now Mac OS X native.

NeoOffice
A full-featured set of office applications (including word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, drawing, and database programs) for Mac OS X. Integrated dozens of native Mac features and can import, edit, and exchange files with other popular office programs such as Microsoft Office.

ThinkFree Office
An office suite of high performance word processing, spreadsheet and presentation applications that is extremely compatible with Microsoft® Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

Papyrus
In one single program of unmatched efficiency, you will find: Word-processing with everything you need; Desktop publishing suitable for professional applications; Embedded spreadsheets with over 100 calculation functions; Relational databases with a powerful search engine, for a complete range from simple address databases, up to complex inventory systems.

NisusWriter
Most of us need to share documents with others. This is no problem with NisusWriter, which uses RTF (Rich Text Format) as its native file format. Since just about every word processor on the market today can read RTF, you can be sure that your documents can be read by others with minimal loss of formatting. Express will also read Word (.doc), Word Perfect,
and AbiWord documents.

icWord
With icWord you can: View Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, AppleWorks or ClarisWorks files with their original formatting intact; Instantly view downloaded documents from the Internet; Easily "save as" a file or "copy/paste" a selection so that you can work within your favorite application; No more retyping of faxed documents just to recreate
a workable text file!

icXL
Without buying and installing Microsoft Excel, icXL enables any Mac user to gain access to Microsoft® Excel files (PC or
Mac created); View downloaded Excel files from the Internet; Open email attachments from PC users; View on screen and print Excel spreadsheets with their original formatting preserved.


The applications supplied on this CD are supplied as is and we make no representations regarding the applications nor any information related thereto. Any questions, complaints or claims regarding the applications must be directed to the appropriate software vendor. Various different license types apply.
