Steps
- Determine the machine you are using (PC, Mac, SPARC) and ensure its system specifications meet the minimum expected by the office suite you want to run[1][2].
- How much have you got to spend on it?
- The following cost money:
- Microsoft Office
- Apple iWork
- StarOffice
- Softmaker
- MarinerPak
- WordPerfect
- Ability
- Celframe
- Gobe Productive
- The following are free:
- OpenOffice.org
- Go-OO[3]
- Lotus Symphony (IBM)[4]
- GNOME Office[5]
- KOffice[6]
- SIAG[7]
- Is it cross-platform or compatible with your operating system (Windows, Mac OS, Linux)[8]? WINE on Linux and Mac OS X supports all Microsoft Office versions to varying degrees.
- Consider the applications you will want. Expect a word processor and spreadsheet as standard. Suites can also contain presentation, database, e-mail client, notetaking and project management software[9].
- Consider file format compatibility for files you already have, and files you may need to use (DOC, OOXML, ODF, WPS, WKS). Plug-ins to handle major standard formats are available for all major office suites[10].
- Do you want to use a web-based office suite such as Google Docs or Zoho?
- Read reviews and advocacy sites[11][12].
- Try a free trial of Microsoft Office[13] (60 day limit) or Apple iWork[14] (30 day limit) before you buy them.
