Open Office

When talking about Word many people think of Word in Microsoft Office® and its license cost. However Open Office (OpenOffice.org) is a completely free, and includes all the features that is expected for word processing / table managing in a normal office. OpenOffice also contains features to make presentations (slide shows).

Unlike many other similar software OpenOffice uses the ISO standardized file format Open Document Format (ODF), which means that you are not forced always using a secret file formats, software licensing and costly upgrades. OpenOffice can also read and write in many old file formats, including DOC and XLS.

OpenOffice is available in Swedish, and many other languages.

It is important to remember that when you send electronic documents that you do it in a format the recipient can read. We recommend that you at such times using the PDF format, which also supported by OpenOffice.

You can download and install Open Office from https://www.openoffice.org/download/ (be sure to choose the right operating system and language).

Open Office is available for both Windows, Linux and OS X (Macintosh), and is completely free to use.


Running a business requires a lot of administration, this both to meet regulatory requirements but also to make your business as efficient as possible. But since the administration of a company does not generate any revenue, it is important that it is done as quickly and smoothly as possible.The onerous administration in a company is accounting, and therefore we have to QBRITS broken out into a separate Accounting Section, we have also excluding the parts that are included in our Base Service. This leaves among other Word and text processing, table management, marketing, register for membership etc.. The most important requirements for such systems is that they are stable and do not cause problems on your computer, and they must also have a manufacturer / supplier that has a long term strategy with its product so you do not will be forced to change because it has been discontinued . Would this happened , it is also important to be able to transfer information (export) to other systems. Many products become automatically very extensive since many functions to be integrated into them and therefore it is a big advantage if they are in Swedish with understandable help texts. For systems where you will be sending information to others, such as e-mailed documents, it is also important to be able to store downloaded in a format that all recipients can read, for that QBRITS and other IT World recommend Adobe PDF -format to be used.
