Office 2007: you can still have the familiar toolbars!
This freeware add-in provides all the familiar toolbars
in a new ribbon called 'Menu'. It works really well
and will be a great help to those who struggle to find
how to do things in the new ribbon.

Open Office
There is a free alternative to Microsoft Office developed
by the 'open source' community, in this case with lots
of help from Sun Microsystems. Now in version 3, the
applications are getting increasingly similar to familiar
Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc and their Calc spreadsheet
application is very easy to use. OpenOffice documents
can be saved as (and open) MS Office documents too.

Google documents
Google have slowly been developing on-line tools which
enable people to publish documents, spreadsheets and
presentations very easily. In particular, the ability
to give permission to certain colleagues to edit them
can make collaboration and sharing documents much simpler
as everyone works on the same, constantly updated, files.
