OpenOffice is one of the coolest things to come along in a long time. It's powerful, flexible and its free.
Even though OpenOffice.org is free, you will need to invest some time learning it. OpenOffice.org is a fantastic program but, like any other program, it will take a while to learn to become efficient at using the various applications.
