MSOFFICE2OPENOFFICE

So friends i'l explain about some advantages of using the OSS!!

  • You are provided with full freedom and you can do what ever you want there is no restrictions.
  • There is no need for latest configuration system's to use these softwares.(For eg:The ubuntu operating system needs minimum 256mb ram and 4 gb free space)
  • So,it reduces the hardware cost.
  • We can have what we use other features can be neglected or eliminated.
There are also some disadvantages using the OSS:
  • They are not so user friendly like Windows.
  • The project tend to change often.(eg:Ubuntu versions keep on coming so often)
So,i'l start with the utility softwares.I mean that how to replace the current closed vendor software with the equivalent Opensource software.

MICROSOFT OFFICE 2 OPEN OFFICE:
  • Every one uses the MSOFFICE that provides us with the storing and manipulating our data.
  • Even though most of us use the pirated version of it,Some people will have to use the geniune version of it which cost around rs.2000 a basic student pack.
  • Think there is a OSS software that can do what ever the MSOffice does.
THAT SOFWARE IS CALLED AS OPENOFFICE.
  • The Open office is developed by Sun microSystems.
  • The Open Office can do what a 
  • does only the name changes.Look the below details you can understand what i am trying to say:
  1. MSWORD 2 OPENOFFICE WRITER
  2. MSEXCEL 2 OPENOFFICE CALC
  3. MSPPT 2 OPENOFFICE IMPRESS
  4. MSACCESS 2 OPENOFFICE BASE
If you want to download the OPEN OFFICE Check this:clickhere

To Remember:
  • The document will defaultly saved as ODF(Open Document Format)
  • In order to open with the MSOFFICE also save the document as DOC format as show below in the snapshot:
  •  When you want to open a Doc file created in a MSOFFICE no alternation is needed just click the option open with Open office writer.
The snap shot of Open calc is given below:

So,I showed there is a replacable Open source software for a high cost Closed vendor software like MSOFFICE.

That's it for the post.Download and Use it.I'l see you in my next post with Some other software.
