LibreOffice

Description

LibreOffice is a free, open source, complete Open Source Office suite. The project forked from another popular, free Open Source Office suite named OpenOffice (formerly known as StarOffice).

It has six feature-rich applications that are similar to Microsoft Office: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math, and Base. That being said, the list of features is impressive (a lot of people and other websites have rated LibreOffice as the best free Office suite). It also allows you to use different extensions and templates and if you need help, you can download a lot of user guides for each application in ODT or PDF formats for free.

Note: When installing LibreOffice you can choose to install only one or more features (e.g. Writer). Also, you can download additional extensions and templates from the official page.
