Title: Substitute for Windows ''Office''?
Post by: Ron Sower on September 24, 2015, 01:00:11 PM
Is there such a thing? I believe I remember someone writing about a free online download. Lucy's Microsoft Surface Pro 3 didn't come with it and I don't want to get into 9.99/month or 6.99/month for every to get Office. I guess $149 one-time isn't too bad though.

Any help?

Try openoffice.org. It has the open source equivalents to the MS OFFICE products.
