“Typing documents, use of spreadsheets and slideshows are
essential tools in the life of almost every professional. The
largest of the problems found in Microsoft Office according to the
vast majority of users is its price, quite high in the opinion of

various other characteristics quite evident in the 2007

functions and indisputable functionality, the day of the great duel
