Portable OpenOffice is an Apache product, first of this niche to try to provide a full-featured document processing suite that can easily replace paid software such as Microsoft Office. It comes off as a multipurpose collection of tools oriented towards a wide array of audiences such as home and business users.

The suite includes a palette of utilities that can deal with word processing, spreadsheet editing, presentation design, databases and graphics, to name the most important of its tasks. More importantly, it sports undeniable compatibility with Microsoft Office formats, facilitating the migration to OpenOffice. In fact, you have the possibility to save in Microsoft formats if necessary.

As far as looks goes, it resembles Office 2003, so it lacks the ribbon interface and relies on the old-school toolbars and menus. If you preferred the classic look of Office, then you are unlikely to have any problems getting around or working with this suite.

On the downside, you should bear in mind that the suite does not pack an email client or cloud storage support, which in all fairness can be a dealbreaker for some users. Nonetheless, you should bear in mind that you can connect to Google Drive, Box and Thunderbird via extensions.

The suite includes a palette of utilities that can deal with word processing, spreadsheet editing, presentation design, databases and graphics, to name the most important of its tasks. More importantly, it sports undeniable compatibility with Microsoft Office formats, facilitating the migration to OpenOffice.org.

The suite includes six distinct components, all of which can be launched individually. Writer is a utility similar to Microsoft Word, which allows users to create and edit documents, as well as web pages. Analogous to Microsoft Excel is Calc, which is able to deal with spreadsheets. Impress is a program that builds an exports presentations, much like PowerPoint, while the Draw component edits vector graphics, similar to early versions of Visio.

Microsoft Equation editor can be easily replaced by Math, a program that manages formulae, whereas Base deals with databases, just like Microsoft Access does.

In case you do not mind the outdated interface and willing to add some extensions to be able to use an email client and cloud storage, then Portable OpenOffice could prove a viable and stable alternative for Microsoft Office. Not only does not cover the office needs of home and small businesses, but it is also light on your system and leaves computer configuration and the Windows registry untouched.
