OpenOffice, that is. Ever wish you could have Microsoft’s Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint), but cannot afford their price? OpenOffice is a free, open-source software that is the SAME AS the name-brand Office.
It looks just like Office 97, and does not have the uber-enhanced features that Office 2003 carries, but it opens and saves in standard Office file formats (such as .doc, .ppt, etc.). The OpenOffice suite is so similar that when I upgraded from OpenOffice to a free Office 2003 (earned by sitting in a 4 hour lecture), the Office 2003 installer recognized OpenOffice as a previous Microsoft Office installation!
Get your free copy of the OpenOffice software at http://www.openoffice.org, and get free training videos that play with no effort at http://business.newsforge.com/business/05/11/09/2044220.shtml?tid=35&tid=136&tid=130.

I just rechecked the link and yes, a year later the free training videos are still there.
There’s about ten of them on the most common aspect of using an office suite, like inserting pictures or a spreadsheet, etc. Go through them and you’ll quickly ramp up to just how similar openoffice is to the microsoft office suite.
