Replace Pricey Microsoft Office with Free openoffice 2.4
Before you spend hundreds of dollars on the latest version of Microsoft Office, consider a less-expensive alternative: OpenOffice, which offers business-caliber word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, databases, and drawing. Because it's open-source software, it doesn't cost a penny.

IBM Releases Beta 4 of Free Lotus Symphony Suite
Remember Lotus Symphony, the free office suite introduced by IBM last September?

DocSyncer Unveils Public Beta
A few days back, David posted the tantalizing news about DocSyncer, which syncs your Microsoft Office documents with Google Docs. Alas, the service was in private beta testing at the time, meaning you had to request an invitation. As of today, however, DocSyncer has reached public beta status, meaning anyone...

Add Macro Support to openoffice with Groovy
I frequently recommend open-source office suite OpenOffice (say that five times fast) as a free alternative to Microsoft Office, but with one caveat: It doesn't support macros. If that's deal-breaker for you, you'll be glad to know about Groovy for OpenOffice, an extension that adds macro-writing capabilites. It won't let...
