The best quality that is not available in MS office and only in open office is that you can save your documents in many forms and especially in PDF form.
A Comparison
Open office vs. MS office
Office is software necessary for all. You cannot do a lot of work without office. Either you are an academic or professional you need office one way or the other.
You make diagrams, presentations spread sheet or mathematical works you use office all the way. This software has become a part and parcel of every kind of computer activity. You need basic know how of the office software for every task. There are two popular offices available in the market. One is the Microsoft office and other is the open office of Oracle Company. Here is a brief comparison of both the offices for you. The first and foremost thing about MS office is the non availability in the free market. No office is available free of cost. There are trial versions of very issue but not free. Open office is quite free and never demands any price from you except appreciation or volunteer donation. You can download it from anywhere and without and burden. Its downloading is very simple and easy.
Then there is the size of the soft-wares. MS office is very heavy in files. The person with slow speed connection can never download it at once. It needs many hours in slow connection. In practical it becomes impossible to download it at slow speed.
Open office is very light and easy to download. You can download it at slow connection also with ease.
Then there is the functionality of the offices. MS office is complicated and demands expertise of high level to use it but open office is very simple and common man can use it very easily in spite of all the functions. Open office is user friendly while Ms Office is not enough. You can do each and very thing with the open office which you think with MS office.
The best quality that is not available in MS office and only in open office is that you can save your documents in many forms and especially in PDF format. This characteristic is completely absent in MS office. You need not to have a separate doc to pdf convertor as MS office needs for open office.
The trial versions expire after 30 or 60 days but open office never expires. It works as usual even after 30 months or 60 months. The people who use Ms Office often do not know about the user friendly qualities of open office. If they knew all as described here they would definitely convert to the lovely Open office by Oracle.
