My Experience with 2003 Microsoft Office

Over the years, I've tried a variety of word processors, including Word Perfect, Microsoft Word, 2003 Microsoft Office, and several others. I've used Notepad, Word Pad, and all of the other free programs included with Windows. For me, I think Open Office is my favorite.

The best thing about Open Office is that unlike 2003 Microsoft Office, Open Office is free. Open Office is designed by Sun Microsystems, one of the leading companies in the computer industry. It has all of the features of any other word processor, such as spell check, grammar check, auto correct, dictionary, macros, fonts, and an extensive help system. As a matter of fact, I'm using it right now to write this blurb.

Unlike other word processors, Open Office includes free and regular updates. For example, let's say that you buy 2003 Microsoft Office with your computer.  It will work for a couple of years, but soon you'll have to buy a new word processor in order to read documents created with other word processing programs and to keep up with all of the developments. With Open Office, you can just log onto the website and download a free update.

Blurb Alert! Did you know that you can get computers, peripherals, software and other supplies at wholesale prices?  You don't need to be a retailer or sell goods on eBay...simply buy the product at wholesale price and have it dropshipped to your door, just like any other online shopping service.  Access over 250,000 wholesale items today ... FREE 7-day wholesale trial.

One of the complaints about free software is that its not always compatible with the other more popular  systems. I have been using Open Office for a long time, and have never found this to be the case. I can save files in 2003 Microsoft Office format, Office 6.0 format, Word Perfect format, or just plain or encoded text format.  I can even save my work in html (which is for the web).  The program is available for a variety of different operating system platforms.

When it comes down to it, the word processor you use isn't that important. Many different word processing programs can suit your needs, including 2003 Microsoft Office, as long as they have certain features.  Essential features include a dictionary spell check function and grammar check function. The grammar check and spell check functions, while no substitute for a good proof reading, will catch mistakes that you might otherwise overlook. It can give you the edge you need to make more professional, sharper presentations.
