Hi All,
I installed Kingsoft Office on my Ubuntu powered laptop and found it pretty good. There are three applications in the suite as below -
- Kingsoft Writer ��� ��MS Word alternative
- Kingsoft Spreadsheet ��� MS Excel alternative
-
Kingsoft Presentation ��� MS PowerPoint alternative
Kingsoft Office is very much compatible with new versions of MS Office. I tried to open many .docx and .xlsx files in Kingsoft Office, and I can say that compatibility is around 95% even for the complex documents. Best part is that the user interface of Kingsoft Office is very similar to MS Office including the Ribbon interface. In fact, you can think of Kingsoft Office almost a clone of MS Office. This will reduce the learning curve for the new users who have recently migrated from Windows to GNU/Linux. One more useful feature is that multiple documents can be opened in Tabs so there is no need of switching between multiple windows.
Don't believe me? Try out the��Kingsoft Office��yourself!
Cheers,
Danial Jos��
