Microsoft Office Suite Clone

Many of you probably have access to Microsoft Office Suite on a computer at your school. However, many of you may not have the same access on a computer at your home. If you don't have that luxury, and don't want to pay for it, you can check out openoffice.org and download a suite that performs very well as a substitute for Word, Excel and PowerPoint, and is without charge or obligation; what's more, these products read Microsoft Office files and write them back in that format if you set it up that way.
The only thing you have to do is experiment a little; if you use a Microsoft Suite feature that is somewhat new and involved, it may not read perfectly into Open Office. Good luck.
