7 Things You Didn’t Know Open Office Could Do!

Ok, so by now its probably safe to say that most people have heard of Open Office as probably the best replacement for Mircrosoft Office if you are tried of having to dish out $100+ for every new version they release. The great thing about Open Office is with every release they put out, it is becoming more and more just like Mircosoft Office and is able to do basically all the same functions and even manage to do some things that Mircosoft Office can not.

The guys over at PCMAG.com have put together a list of things that most people probably wouldn’t know about when using Open Office. These features go a long way in making some things a bunch easier while others are in there for just fun. So on to the point I shall go and give you the 7 things you probably didn’t know you could do with Open Office.

1. Edit two or more parts of a document at the same time.
2. Use Open Office to open legacy documents.
3. Play a vintage Space Invaders game.
4. Turn off the blinking light bulb.
5. Save files in Office formats by default.
6. Automate actions easily.
7. Fix those single quotes.

So there it is, the list which I think has some great features on there even I didn’t know were there. You can go HERE to read up on the article for each of the 7 features to learn how to actually do what it is talking about.

I would suggest anyone who is looking for a replacement for Microsoft Office to check out Open Office because with every release they are putting out it is getting better and better and at this point I would go as far to say that it is the best program to replace Microsoft Office (and the cheapest being it is free). You can find the free download of Open Office on there website which can be found at OpenOffice.org so go check it out and enjoy!
