I'm using LibreOffice for 2 years now, it's working great for me, 7.3 version is even more compatible with MS Office, in case you need. The community is very active on the official forum, so you can learn and ask for help whenever you want to use a function that is sligthly different from MS.

The best alternative is a pirated version of Office.

Been using Libre Office for over 2 years now. One of the features I use quite often is export to PDF. Love this program!!

I used to be a MS office fan until they charged a monthly fee. Now I'm grateful for Apache Open Office. Thanks for sharing these options and commenting on each.

I didn't realize how refreshing it would be to stumble on a channel that finally aligns with my outlook regarding my data not being used as a product. Thanks for the suggestions. Subscribed and tweeted about you to my followers.

My excel 2007 refused to open any of my excel spreadsheets but thankfully they just dropped in to the open LibreOffice application and could then be worked on and saved as LibreOffice files. This video was a great hep, thank you.

As for my laptop, I've been using Open Office, moved to Star Office 5.2 and then to Libre Office and still using the latest 7.2 version today.

Wps office is definitely the best to use and ive never encountered ads problems.

" You use it for free and if you yourself doesn't mind being the product all you need is a google account"
LOL

Well i ve used all of them and for me the fifth spot pick has better file compatibility than all the others but in terms of feature set and software libre is the only one that actually features a database package you can use. Stay away from Calligra office suite its compatibility for word is lower than abiword without its many many extensions. Only desktop is good and one of the leaner ones if your on a pc or netbook thats older and possibly celeron powered.

I do like MS Office. Generally I think it's excellent.... But I'm trying to say Goodbye to spying so I'm shifting to Linux and LibreOffice. People forget how much time they spent learning Office and believe that LO is too hard... because they are instantly trying to be at the same proficiency as they were with MS Office. I've been sticking to learning LO and its grown on my and I quite like it. Still has a couple of things that need improvement on but overall I think it's a superb alternative to MS Office.

[LucienSabre]

I don’t know you, but this video makes me wonder and reflect how much a brand can screw up their flagship software (and themselves) when some of the free alternatives to said software are and/or become better than the original.

[bluepen]

Open Office is very good too. I am surprised you forgot about it.

[davejefferynf]

I absolutely love SoftMaker FreeOffice. I've been using it for the past few years with absolutely no problem.

This is very good, thanks a lot, can clearly see how microsoft paywalls tools that in this day and age are necessary.

Me? IT guy 30 plus years. Specialized in MS Office and Server Technologies. Why? Most all business oriented Microsoft applications like MS Project, Sharepoint, MS Exchange were all born from MS Office. Core MS Office apps are complicated and users utilize far less than 10% of any of those apps during the course of either their business related activities or their free time activities. Waste of money? Yes they are. Get an open source office suite and pay them for it or donate their asking donation and you will reap the benefits. Cheers. Oh, I run Linux on most all of my customers and personal machines with open source apps!
