Where Can I Get Office for Free?

http://www.openoffice.org/ is the place to download a free office productivity suite. What's the catch? There is none. It's free. You can put it on as many computers as you like. It's a lengthy download (276 MB), but that's because it's a full office suite.

Here's what you get for nothing:

• Word Processor with many of the tools that you need (mail merge, tables, ability to export to PDF)
• Presentation Program with many choices (backgrounds, charts, custom slide show settings)
• Database Program that is user friendly and has many options to help keep track of your customers
• Spreadsheet Program with the functions you need (charts, formulas, graphics)
• Drawing Program with features most home users want (tools and special effects)
• Formula Editor for making macros
• Template Organizer for storing your custom templates

If you are not wanting to contribute to the Microsoft monolopy, give OpenOffice a try!
