spork985 Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 The open office torrents can be found on http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/index.html. It is a program similar to the microsoft word suite except it is free and can be distributed as you wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ak471992 Posted January 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 yeh but what does it actually do.thanks for the feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spork985 Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 The file you download is an instalation file. The program itself is EXACTLY like microsoft world applications, except its free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ak471992 Posted January 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 oh right. i thought it was software like utorrent cause i heard people sayin something and i think i heard them wrong. is open office any good and is it better than word. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spork985 Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 I like it because I don't have to pay $400 for the full version of Microsoft Office. Thats like the only plus to it. It is able to open and save microsoft word files so it can be used with anything a microsoft word user created. And i appologize, that like above does not work, http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/index.html . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha-Toxic Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 generaly MS Office is better, BUT 99% of the people out there (including me) don't know why (some expert features that almost noone actualy uses).but this is not the point, here we use it ONLY because the torrents are always well seeded and can be used to test your speed, not because we try to make you use it or sth (not that it's a bad idea to try it though...)

dAbReAkA Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 ms office is:1. faster2. good-looking3. easy to work with - especially with the new office 2007 interface4. support the most common document formats. (doc, .. - ofc, those formats are a property of MS..)OOo is:1. bloated2. java-based3. features lacking4. doc format not fully supported - incompatibilities occur now and then.. yes i know there are OOo formats, but ms office doesnt support them..
