Value for Money:

The use of Office Automation Software is need of every home user as well as industries. **Most** of the people think that MS-Office is part of Windows and its cost is included in Windows Licence Fees.


Due to this ignorance maximum individuals as well as organisations **are using piarated Microsoft Office** (MS-Office) as Office Automation Software. Where as in actual Licence fees of Microsoft Office is very high.


The **Licence Fees of MS-Office** Full version is approx **Rs. 15000 per user** and standard version cost approx. Rs. 8000 per user (Word, Excel, Power Point). The **open office** is one of the **best free ware software** and **alternate** of **MS-Office**, provided **by Sun Microsystem.*


Open Office Organisor 3.0 have following main components :-

  1. *Writer** (alternate of **Word**).

  2. *Calc** (alternate of **Excel**).

  3. *Impress** (alternate of **Power Point**).

  4. *Base** (alternate of **Access**)

Beside above components of Math and Draw are also there.


The following are the **main feature** of Open Office :-

  1. Software is **Totally Free **and can be down loaded from https://openoffice.org

(the download link and **detail** also on site *** http://www.worktools.info***)

  1. The **MS-Office files can be open in Open Office** without problem.

  2. The files opened in Open Office **can be saved in MS-Office Format** also.

(means we can send the file created in Open office to all such users who don't have open office


and are using MS-Office).

  1. The file saved in Open Office origional format (odt) is **totally virus free.*

  2. The file saved in Open Office is **very small in size** as compared to MS-Office format (doc, xls, ppt etc.)

  3. *Compatible with****Linux** as well as Microsoft **Windows**.

The implementation of Open Office is very easy. I have already implemented it and saved approx. Rs. 1.5 lac. of organisation. Although no support is required for its implementation. Even then if some-one have doubt about support, the paid service by Sun Microsystem is available at very nominal prices.
