This is the simple table of content. It presents
alternative freeware programs to Microsoft office
programs.
3. Many people are not consious that here are
other programs besides Microsoft office’ ones.
Due to lack of knowledge they illegaly
download illeagal copies of ’Office’. However,
they do not know that they can download
freeware programs which are the same or even
better than Microsoft ones. So my aim is to
present such programs which substitute
Microsoft office software.
5. AbiWord is very similar to
Microsoft Word. People who
are used to Word will not
have any bigger difficulties
whith switching over to
AbiWord.

everything can be
easily found and I
had no problems
whith running it on
my computer.
9. Gnumeric and its source code are

is by far the best one to
make presentations. I
really liked the interface. It
was user friendly, simple
and neat. I also like 3D
options. They made the
diagrams look very nice. I
totally recomend this
program.
17. Thunderbird is Mozilla’s
desktop e-mail client. As
such, it’s an open source
application and supports
various addons, which
enhance its functionality.
19. My opinion
Eventhough, I am using
my browser as my e-mail
client I would defineatly
use this program if I
were to chose. I really
liked changable thems
and additional extension
which made it very
useful. Compared to MS
Outlook, Thunderbird
wins.
21. The free Zimbra Desktop client allows you to
meld the online and offline worlds – storing
and synching your email, calendar, contacts,
files and documents in the cloud. Zimbra

email program available to everyone free of

27. My opinion
IncrediMail is the
funniest program I have
ever used. I used to
operate on it in the past,
so I had some more
expirience. Despite all
these awesome features I
did not like it very much.
The number of extra
things was
overwhelming.
Everything was easy to
find, though. I recomend
this program for young
poeple who want to have
fun with e-mails.
28. There are many more
alternative programs. However,
these are the best. I chose them
by looking on notes given by
users. I wanted to give the best
possible freeware software
possibilites.
29. Thank you for watching
I hope my presentation will help
you
