OpenOffice.org (Version 3.1) (free)
This link will take you to the web page for OpenOffice.org. We are now using this as an Open Source alternative to Microsoft Word, Excel, and POWERPOINT. This software is OPEN SOURCE -- meaning that it is FREE to the public -- no charge. The word processor will read Microsoft Word files and the presentation package, called "IMPRESS," will read Microsoft PowerPoint files. All of the computers in the 7th grade HAG science classroom are now running OpenOffice.org software. We are no longer using Microsoft Office for word processing or for 'Powerpoint' style presentations. .
