Here are the five tables ( click on each thumbnail for an enlarged view): Table 1: Suite-wide differencesįigure 4: Multiple selections in MacPowerPoint 2011. In addition, I will describe my personal Office setup. Hopefully, this will assist you in choosing the best version/edition for your use. I am listing the differences because listing the similarities would take much too much room-the suites are that identical. Note that because the tables lists differences, no row of the table will be all checkmarks (since this would mean that all the suites had this feature, and thus this wasn’t a difference) nor will any row be all “X”s (since this would mean that no suite had this feature, and thus it isn’t a difference either). The vast bulk of the content in this post is in the following five tables, which list the differences I found.

Unlike Microsoft’s Office web apps, you can even access Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides offline in Google Chrome. It stores your files in Google Drive, Google’s online file storage service.


You can even make LibreOffice look like Microsoft Office. While OpenOffice is still around, LibreOffice has more developers and is now the more popular project. It’s similar to the desktop versions of Microsoft Office, and it can even work with and create Office documents in common file types like DOCX documents, XLSX spreadsheets, and PPTX presentations.

LibreOffice is a free and open-source office application for Windows, Mac, Linux, and other operating systems.There are completely free office suites that sport good compatibility with Microsoft Office documents, spreadsheets, and presentation files. If you’re looking for something else, consider choosing a different office application.
