I downloaded OpenOffice to my staff computer. The layouts seem very similar to Microsoft Office, which is good because it follows the standards that most of us are used to. I'm not sure I see myself employing it much though; I mean if I didn't already have Microsoft, then I definitely would. However, if there is something that I'm trying to create on a Microsoft program and I just can't quite make it work, I'll check out OpenOffice and see if one of its programs will do the trick.
I'm really impressed that OpenOffice is totally free and available to everyone. I'll spread the word to patrons who mention that they don't have the Microsoft package. (I wish I had known about it a few years ago when I bought my laptop and Microsoft Office. I could have saved myself some dough.)

amen to that. I bought a used laptop a couple years back and it didn't have MS Office so I installed Open Office instead. It's been really easy to use and I had no problems typing multiple papers on it.
