OpenOffice will automatically display your Microsoft documents into the user interface for you to edit. OpenOffice is a suitable alternative to Microsoft Office 365 considering you can create and open Microsoft file formats like. Open Office is compatible with the files that are already on your PC in your file manager.Īn ‘Open’ button lets you conveniently launch your file directory to choose a file to use. A blank document will appear when you click on the options. This would have been next to impossible to do in Excel.The user interface is intuitive to use, as the home screen clearly labels the tools. +-+-+ N folds to N, U folds to U, N backs to U The rotations were used to cut down on the amount of cutting and gluing I would need to do. 10 inches, formatted as 7 merged columns, 2 groups normal rotation, 2 groups true upside down rotation -180 degrees and repositioned-, 2 groups normal rotation).
