Research for School
Hello,
My name is Yvonne Simmons and I am doing some research on word processors
for school and I was wondering if you could help me out? Would you be
willing to give me three similarities and three differences between your
program and Microsoft Word I would highly appreciate it. Thank You for your
help.

hi.
i mentioned some different aspect which i observed.
1/ openoffice writer if opensource free product and microsoft office
word is not.
for example: even if you want to use only word, you should pay more
than one hundred dollars.
2/ openoffice writer has classic menu, and microsoft word has ribbon
menu since version 2007.
3/ openoffice is multi language and you can install all language packs
and dictionaries for free!
but even the languages which are used in microsoft office is commercial.
4/ openoffice writer is multi platform and microsoft office word has
not linux version.
5/ openoffice complete package is only 134 mb, but microsoft office
word only is near 400 mb!
hope thats help.
thanks and God bless you all.

Those who follow the Messenger-Prophet, the Ummi, whom they find
written down with them in the Taurat and the Injeel [who] enjoins them
good and forbids them evil, and makes lawful to them the good things
and makes unlawful to them impure things, and removes from them their
burden and the shackles which were upon them; so [as for] those who
believe in him and honor him and help him, and follow the light which
has been sent down with him, these it is that are the successful.

For the record: LibreOffice can write the .docx format.

Perhaps Yvonne doesn't own MS Word and does not want to spend the
money to buy it simply to write a short paper for school. OTOH, she
may be forced to buy it to satisfy her instructor. Perhaps the instructor
requires all papers to be submitted in .docx format.
I don't believe Open Office can write docx format output.
If docx format is required, SoftMakerOffice's word processor can do it
and there is a free version for non-commercial use. It doesn't have all
the bells and whistes of the paid version, which is in the $80 range. I
don't have any financial or other interest in Softmaker.
Goog luck, Yvonne!

Hello Yvonne.
While it's nice that you are here and willing to interact with the
Apache Open Office users community as a learning exercise, it's not so
nice to ask for others just to reply to your assignment questions ;).
In other words, you should be able to figure differences by yourself
just by reading the Wikipedia entry for each program (eg: Wordperfect,
Apache Open Office Writer, and Microsoft Word). And even better, if
you took the time to install each program and test it on your own.
I will give you some clues, which will surely help you get started:
1. Apache Open Office is available in a version for the Linux
operating system in addition to Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.
Microsoft Word does not have a Linux version.
2. Cost: Microsoft Word is not free, Apache Open Office is...
3. Think about the source code, and if modifications to the program
are alllowed on each word processor.
Oh, gotcha, I almost filled all 3. ;-)
Of course, if you start using each you will also notice other
differences with regards to the user interface.
Good luck.
