Free alternative for Office productivity tools: Apache OpenOffice - formerly known as OpenOffice.org - is an open-source office productivity software suite containing word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, graphics, formula editor, and database management applications. OpenOffice is available in many languages, works on all common computers, stores data in ODF - the international open standard format - and is able to read and write files in other formats, included the format used by the most common office suite packages. OpenOffice is also able to export files in PDF format. OpenOffice has supported extensions, in a similar manner to Mozilla Firefox, making easy to add new functionality to an existing OpenOffice installation.

Good Luck with those password protected files!!!!!! Remember to switch to LibreOffice WHEN (NOT IF) AOO 4.1.7 suddenly, without warning, cannot open them any more. LibreOffice is up to version 7.0.0.3, with several releases THIS Year, and is under heavy development - OpenOffice is still on version 4 ... with no active developers ... and can not fix the problem with password protected files that they have HAD for OVER a decade now!!!!! It looks as if Open Office struggles to release a bug fix 'point point' release to their version 4.1.X, in the same length of time that LibreOffice releases a Whole New VERSION - Yearly. Expect Version 4.1.8 of Open Office in early 2021 - LibreOffice 7.0.0.3 is OUT NOW ... LibreOffice is now BETTER than MS Office - Especially on Mac or Linux systems. Bye Bye undeveloped unloved unsupported yesterday's has been office suite ... anyone who TRIES LibreOffice switches permanently AWAY from Open Office!!!!! I switched: when Open Office destroyed my only copy of a valuable document, by crashing in the middle of a "Save", and I lost a Month and a Half of irreplaceable work. The document just wasn't THERE any more!!!!! Too bad for ME ... Switch now ... before it becomes "Too Bad for YOU!!!"
