Open Office


Recently I had a student who needed a word processing application, but needed something free.  I recommended the full productivity suite available at OpenOffice.org 
It's FREE and open source.  The products I've used have been able to download and upload windows files without a hitch.  I've liked having it on old machines that I'm unwilling to pay for new software.

The applications include 
     Writer (text document)
     Calc (spreadsheet)
     Draw (drawing - vector graphics)
     Impress (slideshow presentation)
     Base (database)
     Math (formula editor)
