I have never figured out how to replace two paragraph marks with one, as an example. If you want to do anything slightly complicated, you have to go learn specifically how to enter it and that can take some time digging online. In Writer, the one issue is that Search feature is very difficult to learn to use. Besides the options of the search function, I have never felt like there was a feature that is in Word that I needed and didn't have in Writer. Almost everything that is in Word is in Writer. easier for some reason in Writer although they are almost identical. For example, you can add multiple columns to a table at once this is not in Word and it's very convenient and helpful feature when working on a table, and I find changing the text from all caps to no caps etc. Some features are better than features found in Microsoft Word. I've been using Open Office Writer and Calc for years. It's been a wonderful program until just recently. I really like the user interface and features overall. I've been using OpenOffice for many years and never really had a problem until the last few months, as the crashing has been increasing to be more and more frequent. My overall experience, until it seemingly somehow led to my computer now being unable to start, has actually been great. CONSįiguring out how to do headers and footers on alternating pages was a bit of a brain buster, but I got it. It's totally reliable and at a cost 100% less than MS Word. I didn't rate the support category above because I have never had to use it. Most folks don't know this is possible so they farm it out and pay dearly. I was easily able to format and style the layout for the paperback and eBook files, so they conformed perfectly to Amazon's publishing requirements. I've written two novels and a collection of short stories with it. I use Open Office for at least three hours every day-usually six. When it's time to do taxes, the numbers are all there at the bottom. It calculates income, expenses, sales and income taxes etc. I do my company books with an Open Office spreadsheet that I designed myself. At a time when we are working more from home more, Open Office is a sensible alternative to expensive word processing, and spreadsheet programs.

The envelopes, formatted and printed in Open Office, are proper business envelopes.

If you want a fee-based branch of Open Office that uses Mac interface design elements, take a look at NeoOffice in the OS X App Store.I write good business letters often for other people sometimes a printed letter gets more attention than an email. Neither OpenOffice, nor LibreOffice use the Mac interface design. I personally chose it after annoyances with OpenOffice stability. LibreOffice installs entirely into the Applications folder.

Plug-in architecture for third-party tools.

LibreOffice has prolific documentation (PDF) written with LibreOffice Writer.

LibreOffice can open Word Perfect, AppleWorks, MS Works, RTF, MS Publisher, Visio, and nearly 100+ other document formats.

LibreOffice supports 1-button, two-page up viewing, and alternating page numbers.Drop an image in LibreOffice, and right-click to add a URL link to the image.LibreOffice has linkable document frames, and you can have multiple frames per section.

It also has an entire manual chapter devoted to document form design. Pages v5 documents can only be opened with Pages v5. Uses Open Document Format(same as OpenOffice).Pages v5 does not without using AppleScript.

Pages v5 has minimal Office 2013 compatibility. Active on-going effort for Office 2013 compatibility.

Actually, what you want is the free LibreOffice which gets far more development attention than OpenOffice.
