For those not aware.....worth having a look at this....offers the same package as MS Office - word processor, presentation, drawing, spreadsheet, and database - with a similar look and feel so switching is easy....all completely free via download (can get CDs) and open-source....been using for about two years and never a problem....just passing on....

Yes and yes. You can use Word as a default format for saving and opening. Same for PowerPoint, Excel, Access.
Will also save as .pdf which can be handy for saving formatted text.

Yep just like Microsoft applications. I don't know about any technical gubbins, but the software all works great and is ms compatible.

Use the 'Add/Remove Programs' facility in Control Panel in Windows.
benefits disadvantages
Benefits:
.....no purchase price;
.....similar on-screen appearance to the MS equivalent so easy to switch;
.....similar functionality to MS equivalent, so little new to learn - minor differences are (IMO) improvements;
......will open files created in MS equivalent, and will save in them as default if you wish, so doesn't prevent other MS users opening files you create
.....save document files straight to .pdf format (handy if you use it)
......open-source basis, so you could (if you had the know-how) modify it yourself;
......free upgrades - a worldwide community works on it;
......no hassle with licences restricting how many machines you can load the same software onto - the main reason I won't use MS stuff unless I have to;
.....it ain't MS, so Mr Gates doesn't get any more of my money
Disadvantages
....it ain't MS, so maybe a little 'fear factor' to overcome (or maybe deprogramming  )
....a little bit of work to get it unless you download (which takes a bit of time if you don't have broadband) - is available via CD for a small charge but why pay? Once downloaded can be saved to CD to load on other machines
....none other encountered in two years + of usage.
In my opinion, it is as good as it looks. Worth a try.
