Replace Microsoft Office with OpenOffice

This article is from SmallBusinessComputing.com. It has great advice about the transition. Click on the like below to read the complete article.

"If you're thinking about buying the latest version of Microsoft Office, it's going to cost you $399 for each PC you own (or $239 if you qualify for an upgrade from an older version). If you need at least five copies, you might qualify for some kind of volume discount, but even then you'll probably still pay $200 plus per license. For a 25-person shop, that's somewhere in the $5,000 dollar range. Or, you can forget Microsoft altogether and install OpenOffice - a free office productivity suite that runs on all major platforms and use your money for more pressing needs."
