How do you find open office software as compare to microsoft office?

Question

especially 2007? Any comment?

Answer 1

Can't guarantee it will be compatible with Office 2007, but it is free - so you can try. Suggest you create a restore date immediately before installing so you can return to your place if you don't like it.

Open Office is a free Offfice Suite which has proven to be an alternatvie to Microsoft Office except for one thing that I mentioned, it's FREE. There are many other sites dedicated to Open Office and even those that offer Open Office Tutorials.
OpenOffice.org is a collection of different applications that work together closely to provide the features expected from a modern office suite. Many of the components are designed to mirror those available in Microsoft Office. The components available include:
Writer — a word processor similar in look and feel to Microsoft Word and offering a comparable range of functions and tools. It also includes the ability to export Portable Document Format (PDF) files with no additional software, and can also function as a WYSIWYG editor for creating and editing web pages. One important difference between Writer and Microsoft Word is that in Writer, many functions and number formats from Calc (below) are available in Writer's tables. Another difference is that in Writer, automatic save is off by default.
Calc — a spreadsheet similar to Microsoft Excel with a roughly equivalent range of features. Calc provides a number of features not present in Excel, including a system which automatically defines series for graphing, based on the layout of the user's data. Calc is also capable of writing spreadsheets directly as a PDF file.

Answer 2

OpenOffice is free but has many features MS Office is offering.
OO GUI is quite disturbing at first glance, but with the time you see that all the features you require are there and working.
You can add scripts (not VB of course), make presentation, use database, etc.
So if you have a tight budget it is a working solution.

Answer 3

I used it before I got Microsoft Office, I suppose it is a good alternative when you haven't got anything better, I found it a bit hungry and slow to open.

Answer 4

for most people fine
there are different versions ( an older version for older computers that have less horsepower)
Most people are not even using the features of Microsoft Office that were in Windows 3.1 ( 1994)
