I used to install Open Office.org when I was building and rebuilding machines.
I found out just recently that it no longer exists for download as it was sold off or something like that.
Now I guess there are two off-shoots.
One is Apache Open office and the other is Libre.
I see here that some of you have used Libre.
Can anyone who has compared the two versions comment on them in comparison.
I recently installed Apache on a machine and it looked like the original but when I opened a document originally written on WORD it did not format properly. As I recall I never had that problem with Open Office.
Open Office STILL EXISTS and is STILL AVAILABLE AS A FREE DOWNLOAD.
Older versions were developed by Oracle, that has changed to Apache software. No big deal, at least it is STILL available and being developed..
You can find the latest Open Office Version
HEREBy the way, this IS the reason I will never "depend" on the cloud or any other Internet software delivery as sole means for retrieving and reloading my software..
Download the software then MAKE A BACKUP COPY on CD, DVD, External HD so you will always have it in the future...
