OfficeSuite office suite

Our selection is opened by one of the most useful lots for training – a set of OfficeSuite office programs. We introduced you to this package in detail in our review. We will remind you that OfficeSuite is a worthy and affordable alternative to the analogue from Microsoft. Among its advantages, it is worth noting an attractive price, built-in cloud storage up to 100 GB, a wide range of options for working with PDF files and multi-platform. 

The OfficeSuite office package includes:

• The Documents text editor  is a complete replacement for Word from Microsoft. The application will be useful for writing and designing high-quality texts for reports, essays, term papers or theses. Documents supports the most popular formats, including DOC, DOCX, ODT, RTF, TXT, and PAGES.
• The Sheets table editor  is an analogue of MS Excel. The program interface is short and familiar, so it will not take much time when switching from another program. The arsenal of supported formats includes XLS, XLSX, XLSM, ODS, CSV, TSV and NUMBERS. Sheets allows you to create and edit tables of varying complexity using macros and formulas.
• Slides  – will help you create effective presentations. The program, like all others from the OfficeSuite package, received a short and familiar interface, as well as support for the most popular formats, including PPT, PPTX, PPTM, PPSX, PPSM, POT, POTX, POTM, PPS, ODP and KEY. Slides will be useful for schoolchildren and students. It will help to create presentations of different levels to protect reports and term papers.

The icing on the cake of OfficeSuite is the PDF editor, which allows you to view documents in the appropriate format, as well as fill out various forms and make all kinds of marks. In this way, you can open educational materials and enter your own instructions from other sources. It is not superfluous to mention the possibility of working together on PDF documents, which can be useful for collective projects.
