Best MS Office-compatible free alternative?

[(RIP) Bin Ridin]

Hi,

New laptop appeared, but no MS Office.

Which is the best of the free Office-compatible suites for light personal use?

Thanks!

Agreed... mandated by a lot of the EU though if that puts you off

Have a look at LibreOffice. Has everything in it you will need and it is compatible with Microsoft Office. RobA.

And if you use an Apple Mac, their 'Pages' is very similar to MS Word and you can save in MS Word format etc etc
