Apache Open Office

I have to say that I was amazed with this one. The download went through very easily and quite fast. When I opened it, it somewhat resembled Microsoft Word, however there were buttons not only along the top of the page, but along side the right hand side. It was quite easy to understand as I hovered over each button. I use Word and Excel a tremendous amount of time, so it would have to fill some pretty big shoes with those two.

As I was looking to upload the Apache logo pictured above, it took me quite a while to find the image button. On Word, I am quite familiar with it as you go to insert, then select the picture button and you are on your way. With Open Office, I searched around and when I couldn't find a short cut, I went to insert and then had to search along the drop down for the appropriate course of action. I am sure it will get easier and better once I become more familiar with it. The main plus for this is the price since the cost of Office programs are through the roof. I ended up going back to 2007 Office because it seems to run the best on my 2 year old laptop, Amazing isn't it? I am going to have to get to know this program better real soon.
