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
HERE
By 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...
That is the same link I just used a couple days ago to install on a couple of laptops for DW. As I mentioned it does appear to be and function just as did Open Office... just under a new name/company.
I am glad you mentioned "Oracle". I, for the life of me, could not remember that!
I actually prefer Open Office to MS. It is a bit easier to use and it is F R E E !!! Gotta LOVE free!
I created an entire publication for my sister's business with it a few years ago. Included pictures and the works. Turned out really nice and when I saved it as PDF it printed out really nice as well. We were able to take the PDF to Kinkos and make multiple copies without any alteration to the document/book I created since the PDF is adaptable to all printers without altering the document AND it can be set as read only so no one else can alter it either!
