OpenOffice

[semi-pro waster]

I use it and have done for a couple of years since I decided that I wanted to try and use legal software wherever possible.

I find a few things less intuitive than in Microsoft Office but that could just be down to having used MS Office first and for longer. The speed thing is a pretty minor annoyance really, I simply assumed it was down to the fact that my PC is getting on a bit now, it does however seem significantly faster on the second time of your session when you open up a file.
