What do you think of Microsoft Office products?

Office is the best set of computer program I've found yet.  They all do their job perfectly.\n\nAfter 15 years as a programmer I can say that I've found nothing better except for Microsoft SQL Server, but they stole that from Sybase who stole it from IBM.\n\nAnd yes, I've worked with all kinds of other vendors too.  MS generally is just better.

That is right at the limit.  If you need headers and other stuff, you will have to get Office 12, coming out soon.

OOps! that's a tad illegal... either you can buy the software or download a trial version for MS Office\n\nhttp://office.microsoft.com/en-us/officelive/default.aspx?xid=mcrssaub0050004038mrt

MS Word 2k is better, though it may take a little bit more space, plus you have to pay for it around 70 bucks? though that's for the new ones- xp and 2003 i think.\n\nGet Open Office, it's originally made for Linux by Sun Microsystems (the company that invented Java lol), but they  have several versions for Windows, its a whole suite so you get a wordediting, chart editing, presentation editing, etc. 5or 6 things total that completely substitute Windows Office, plus its all free, just download it from http://www.openoffice.org, download is like 90 mb, then extraction 92 mb or so, and installed it's 250 mbs total, though Win Office 2003 is about a gig, Open Office, is less space taking, has all same features, is a lot easier to use, is a lot faster, hardly ever crashes.\n\nIt takes about 20 mintues to install it ( for novice users), took me about 5 minutes, I have been using the windows version for several monthes now, it takes a little bit of time to get into it after using the Windows Office, but it's a lot better, also go to http://www.download.com and http://www.softpedia.com to look for specific word editing programs, there are many free, good small programs for editing them, there's just less support for third party editing.\n\nIn the end Open Office is the best.\n\nIf all the Office Suites were listed Win Office would be first only because you have to pay for it, Open Office would be second just because its freeware, but it deserves to be free.\n\nMore thatn 8 thousand man hours went into making Open Office, so it's  been made almost perfect.\n\n\nIf you need help with anything else email me:\nlevlozhkin@gmail and @yahoo, also I'm on yahoo messenger, aim messenger- REEFORMED and at msn messenger - REEFORMED\n\nFeel Free to talk to me, or ask for help and advice, in Linux  and Windows, not Mac though (only mac I have is 8.6 version which died almost a year ago, and since then I haven't even turned it on)\n\nLev \nHope this helped

Well if your open to new things I would suggest trying OpenOffice which is completely free and has all the features of MS Office Pro. The program is able to ready almost every filetype and allow you to edit it. However, if you "need" MS Office i would suggest getting Student Teacher Edition for $149. It allows you to install the program on up to 3 computers and it comes with all that you need. The other editions of the program can be as expencive as $499 and are all avable and your local Office supply store, Consumer Electronic's store, and Online via retailers like Newegg or directly threw the big blue monster Mircosoft.

Open Office was developed to be completely compatible with Microsoft Office.  There are very few differences.\n\nBased on my experience with Microsoft Office, I have been able to use Open Office Writer and Calc without studying either.

I haven't used it personally but I've heard people say it's an OK product.\n\nhttp://www.esmarttools.com/ThumbnailBuilder/catalogmaker.htm\n\nThere's also a free version!\n\n<quote>People who run a web site to show and sell their products will benefit from this catalog software. People who send their product catalogs via CDs will benefit from this catalog software as well. This catalog software helps to create product catalogs with photos and publish to their web sites. Product catalogs also can be burned on CDs and sent out. Catalogs with impressive photos will generate much more sales.</quote>

I have tried 3 alternatives. I will list them in order of compatability with MS Office.\n\n1. Open Office - you said to exclude this but it is by far the most compatible to use instead of MS Office. There are usually no issues opening any of the file types.\n\n2. Ability Office - Nice cheap and seems to work well. Definatly not a bad alternative. we found a few bugs opening spreadsheets, but that was for the most part the only issue we had.\n\n3. Star Office(sun microsystems) - An alterative that we did not look to much into. We were warned off by other people that were using it. \n\nhope this helps...

I think they're fairly good, actually. Interesting increase in volume the past week - a delayed reaction following earnings. \nThey have a good position in the marketplace, PCs are commodity-like consumer appliances and it is much easier on the consumer to purchase from a Best Buy than to configure a mail-order Dell - at $500, saving $50 is not worth the additional hassle of not having a physical store service to bring the thing into when something goes wrong.\n\nThe upcoming Vista will offer an increased value proposition to \nconsumers - Apple has shown there is a significant segment of the market will in to pay a big premium for a good operating system Windows will be able to recapture a portion of those buyers. \n\nWith the high-end LCD's that are HDTV capable - Gateway also has a decent cross-over multimedia product - a 24" widescreen monitor/ HDTV is viable product up against the things over in the TV section.

You know office is a suite of software? It's a set of programs. \n\nThe main issues with Outlook are that it is a virus gateway with a lame interface.
