Free Office Software Suites When And Where You Need Them

May 5, 2008 · Filed Under Useful Software 

Last year when I got my new laptop, I opted not to have an office suite loaded. I knew that I would be able to use an open source office software suite. That decision saved me a bundle of money. As soon as my laptop arrived, the first software program I downloaded and installed was OpenOffice.org.

With OpenOffice.org, I got all these programs for free in one easy to use package:

  • Writer – a word processor you can use for anything from writing a quick letter to producing an entire book.
  • Calc – a powerful spreadsheet with all the tools you need to calculate, analyse, and present your data in numerical reports or sizzling graphics.
  • Impress – the fastest, most powerful way to create effective multimedia presentations.
  • Draw – lets you produce everything from simple diagrams to dynamic 3D illustrations.
  • Base – lets you manipulate databases seamlessly. Create and modify tables, forms, queries, and reports, all from within OpenOffice.org
  • Math – lets you create mathematical equations with a graphic user interface or by directly typing your formulas into the equation editor.

Everything a freelancer needs in an Office Suite.

Today, while I was Stumbling, I came across another office suite package, Tiny USB Office. This is an office suite for freelancers on the go. It’s so small, under 2.5 MB, it will fit on a USB Drive. This package is freeware and contains the following applications:

  • Database Creation - with CSVed
  • Data Encryption - with DScrypt
  • Email Client Software - with NPopUK
  • File Compression - with 100 Zipper
  • File Sharing - with HFS
  • File Transfer - with FTP Wanderer
  • Flowchart Creation - with EVE Vector Editor
  • MSN Messenger Client - with PixaMSN
  • Tree-Style Outliner Software - with Mempad
  • PDF Creation - with PDF Producer
  • Password Recovery - with XPass
  • Secure Deletion - with DSdel
  • Spreadsheet Creation - with Spread32
  • Text Editing - with TedNotepad
  • Word Processing - with Kpad
  • Program Launching - with Qsel

This is perfect for when you are traveling or working on an older PC.

I hope you find these office suite suggestions helpful.
