Hey great video. I know this is from a couple of yrs ago, But really great info. Well done. I have downloaded the office suite and am exploring it. I am so sick of MS and their money grubbing ways. Just let us use the product we bought. When I foolish tested out office 365 on a laptop. It overwrote the old office I had bought. When it expired it wiped out my old version. I could not get it back. Another problem is if you use the same email address for your microsoft account for multiple units it gets them confused. They say my office expired 9 yrs ago. My laptop was registered and new a yr ago. Stinks.
So a change is in order. I would love to see a new version of this review. Perhaps an in-depth tutorial on it? Thanks.

This looks pretty good. Is there a way to make it automatically capitalise the letter i like i have set on word?

A neat review of FreeOffice, thank you! Comment: MS Office 2013 is still faster. It opens my 10 MB Word file in 4 secs, but FreeOffice does it in 11 secs. Is it because it was originally created in MS Office? The document is 300 pages long

I never received a signup for a license. What happens now, how do I get one?

Thank you for the video after, I downloaded the freeoffice I followed your video changing some of the options as you suggested. It works well but with one issue in Text Maker which is the font size and style. Default is Times New Roman size 10 How can I change the default start up to a different size and style? Currently every line I type I have to change these settings as it keeps going back to the current default.

Softmaker Office (Free office) is quality piece of software. Libre, Open office is a bit rough.

You cant imput movies on Presentations. This feature is so necessary.

[rhettoracle]

Excellent option! I gave up after Windows 97, every iteration since became bloated, more fragmented and since 10, intolerable. Peace
