Apache OpenOffice Overview
Apache OpenOffice is a free, open-source office suite for Windows, macOS, and Linux, descended from the original OpenOffice.org project and now maintained by the Apache Software Foundation. It includes Writer (word processing), Calc (spreadsheets), Impress (presentations), Draw (graphics), Base (databases), and Math (formulas), centered on the open OpenDocument format while also opening common Microsoft formats. It is a long-established alternative for users who want a familiar, no-cost office suite. Note that LibreOffice, a fork of the same codebase, is now more actively developed; both descend from OpenOffice.org. Because the download is a complete installer, Apache OpenOffice installs without needing a connection during setup. It supports extensions and templates, and its database component, Base, can connect to common database engines.
