I had microsoft office on my older computor but with this one I have now it does not have it at all. I used to use open office too, but it is not compatible with all documents or if it is I don't know how to bi pass or make it so. Do any of you mylotters know of any word processing programs and spreasheet like programs that are free to download online? Thanks soooo much in advance!

Openoffice is a free software. You can also try staroffice or ashampoo office. These are also free. I think as we are familiar with MS office the other software is taking time to accustomed.

Open Office will not only open Microsoft Office files, but it can create them as well. When you write a document or spreadsheet, simply use Save As and select Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel as the file type.

i have openoffice too. though i use abiword for wordprocessing, which is also free, mainly because i find it very easy to use, and i just like it. but thats only a wordprocessor, whereas openoffice is a proper microsoft office replacement.
