Apache OpenOffice Reviews

Thanks to Apache OpenOffice I'm now able to say 'f*** off Bill Gates!!' He can no longer exploit me and it feels great

Though there are bugs and long time users can surely name a few, this project is a bright example of what open source can bring to the table.

Works great and is free.

Good to use open source application.

Version 417 constantly crashes in Windows 10. It needs an upgrade.

This has better support for MS office files than Libre Office.

OpenOffice is a great text editor with a lot of useful features and basically it just works. No, it's not the best imaginable, but it is freeware and it is one of the best and most useful freeware apps I've seen anywhere, maybe second only to Blender 3d.

una grandissimo progetto gratuito che funziona da dio! Che dire di più? Grazie di cuore da parte mia e da tutti coloro che fanno parte di questa comunità! luca.

OpenOffice is a great FREE alternative to Office 365 . I have use these programs for years and have always adored them. In my opinion its more efficient and easier to use then the Office 365 Suite. If you are looking for an alternative to that than this is the program for you!

Apache OpenOffice 4.1.7 has way better font rendering than LibreOffice 6.4.3 – no matter if on Linux, macOS or Windows 10. LO messes up the kerning and as soon as you zoom the document, it gets even worse – not so with AOO. AOO supports even ClearType. I also like that the developers didn't change the menus. I used StarOffice and OpenOffice.org since it was available for free – thus mor than 20 years. Moving items in the menus from one place to another and renaming things just annoys me. What I would change in AOO for Linux is the scaling option: in AOO 4.1.7 the interface can be scaled only up to 130 %. As I have a HiDPI display, it would be fine if AOO could be scaled at least up to 200 % using the settings menu.

A very good initiative, keep it up.

I've been having problems putting the English version on. If I type a letter every word needs to be spellchecked like I'm in a Spanish version.

Make it very easy to write some business or personally reports or things.

Absolutely the bestest!!! Just the right amount of features, without being so esoteric as to be loaded with un-intelligible acronyms for rarely used features, which, upon spending valuable look up time, soon become forgotten. Kudos to the wonderful team of dedicated volunteers that make it happen. P.S. I did not rate Support, as I have never used it; but I'm sure it would be excellent. P.P.S. The download could include options for adding the icon to the Task Bar and/or Desk Top.

This is the best they could invent.

the software is just as easy, in my opinion, to use as microsoft office is. i was easily able to use and create templates for my business. i am very thankful for this amazing software.

It is a labor of love and it is clearly seen. Does everything its paid counterpart does but is better and free.

All is excellent

Open source and many feature. Really good alternative to Microsoft office

I think it is better than MO. The main reason is this being free of charge. But it has plethora of features and it is an open source. It does everything I want it to do and it is user friendly. Go guys!

Je l'utilise en remplacement du très vieil « Office 2003 de Microsoft » ! (il ne fonctionne plus sur Windows 10) Microsoft sait bien faire ça, rendre obsolète un logiciel, pour nous obliger à utiliser leurs nouveaux programmes hyper nuls, avec une sorte de palette qu'ils appellent un « Ruban » alors qu'avec mes anciens Word + Excel 2003 : j'avais des barres d'outils hyper efficaces et personnalisées, dessins perso des boutons qui n'ont pas d'icônes d'origine, etc. Des menus personnalisés également, raccourcis, claviers, macros, polices, etc. Bref, j'avais tout, et ils m'enlèvent ça sans aucune raison. NON je n'utiliserai pas les « Offices » qui sont sortis après 2003 chez Microsoft, car les rubans je m'en fiche totalement, je ne suis pas là pour jouer avec une tablette tactile (c'est ce qui est en train de remplacer Windows, on va avoir d'ici 5 ans un système d'exploitation qui transforme un gros PC Gamer ou autre en tablette !). Revenons à nos moutons, « Apache OpenOffice » a déjà ça de bien : des barres d'outils et des barres de menus. Puis la personnalisation. Bien sûr il n'est pas aussi facile quand on débute dessus, mais peu à peu on est bien content de l'avoir ! Ne pas hésiter à le personnaliser et ajouter des extensions, des modèles... Merci aux concepteurs !

It is superior to Microsoft Office. It has all the same functions but it is less buggy, has extensive list of supported languages, plugins and a team of dedicated developers. Definitely worth to support.
