I am considering switching from ms office to ???

Question

Over the last few month I have started to get very frustrated with ms office and the direction of the new version.

I need a great contact management program/ email with a wordprocessor, a presentation package, a desktop publisher, and spreadsheets.

I checked out word perfect but the contact managment (mail) seems a little goofy.

any suggestions are appresiated, I am a realtor but do not want to work with the specific realtor packages, they are way to limited in ability.

Answer 1

do try openoffice.org ... no probs so far to me....
for mails and contacts.... try something else like thunderbird...

Answer 2

Openoffice. It has a word processor, spreadsheet program and presentation program. It even reads/writes Microsoft office formats so you can stay compatible with everyone that uses office. Its also free.
