Thing #18

OpenOffice has advantages such as the fact that it can be downloaded for free and it can be used by as many people as you want. It's easy to learn to use for people used to other office software. I guess I'm just wondering why anyone would ever need to use it. Doesn't everyone already have office software? I guess if you were trying to do a project on different computers (maybe some people do not have compatible software) and you wanted to quickly merge the different parts, then this would be a helpful option. I'm just not seeing why I would need to use this option right now. I guess it's good to know it's there.
