Free Office Alternatives

[dimme]

Do anyone know which one of the free office programs for the mac offer the most compatibility with MS office files. I not looking for the same features as office and really only need simple functions of word and excel but I would like to be able to open all the MS office files that people send me.
Thanks

LibreOffice is a great free alternative. That being said, if you have to do a lot of complex documents, MS Office may be your only option. Check out LibreOffice is free and a great alternative to get by with. It is what I use most.

What's wrong with Pages, Numbers and Keynote?

I'd say if you're looking for free office alternatives, then LibraOffice is the one to look at and try.

I've used Open Office since I got my MBP in 2011. Works just fine for me.
