SUMMARY
The free "LibreOffice" suite of
software programs is a great
alternative to not-free "Microsoft
Office..". However, you should set the
various programs inside "LibreOffice"
to default to the most common file
formats of .doc, .xls, and .ppt in
order to have maximum compatibility
with "Microsoft Office".
