Skip to content Most of us have been using Microsoft Office since the day our eyes learned about the computer. It is great because it features a lot not just a program that lets you enter data. There are a couple of mishaps with this however because oftentimes, it is not free and in order to get the best out of it, you need to pay. I am not saying that you should go and switch to these alternatives but why don’t give it a try? Here are four (4) of the best Microsoft Office alternatives you should try.
WPS Office 2016
Probably one of the most-noticeable by having the best look alike of Microsoft Office, the WPS Office offers a lot of features which are available on Windows, iOS, and Linux. It contains programs which let you make or edit documents, make or break presentations, and many more that your Microsoft Office can do. The files you will save are going to be more available in a lot more different formats so it does help you in your file switching.
It has a free 30-day trial for its premium but after the said time, it will go back to the “Free” mode if you decided not to go for the premium but trust me, you will want to pay for it.
LibreOffice
Splitting from Apache and OppenOffice, LibreOffice maintained what they had and developed a more modern and a more user-friendly interface to help people who need it. The core suit includes Calc (spreadsheets), Writer, Impress (presentations), and so on. Saving a file is not an inch of a hassle since it supports almost all file types including ODF file formats. It is a powerful tool which offers a lot of extensions for you to further customize programs for your personal or individual needs.
This one is free so you don’t have to worry about paying anything to get the big fish. The fifth generation, which is the LibreOffice 5, added support for Apple Keynote 6, VBA macro streams, and cloud storage.
