I like Google and Open Office both. I like Google a little better
because you can share your documents with other people. I do my produce ordering with Google. I fill out the spreadsheet with the produce and prices, then share it with the other members. They can add what they want to order into their column without having to email back and forth.
It really depends on what you want to use it for Randi.
One of the pluses for Open Office. If you need to create a PDF from other programs>>
a Freeware program is CutePDF. It's set up as a printer. When you are on a page you want to print go to file/print and choose CutePDF. Click OK and it'll open a window asking you to name the file.
