OpenOffice.org 3 is the leading open-source office software suite for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, databases and more. You're probably familar with the Microsoft suite which include Excel, Powerpoint, Word, Access, among other tools. Open Office is available in many languages and works on all common computers.
