Which program replaces Winword 2003?

If any computer in Vietnam, you find that almost all have preinstalled Office XP or 2003 in which WinWord is the most used software for texting.

Also because copyright law is not really respectful, only using CD for 7 thousand VND, never has it forced each company or every individual to buy more than 300USD only for a full set of Office.

Overseas, with strict laws on copyright through the Berne Convention, not everyone has Office 2003 but instead it is similar software but has the ability to help text and calculate, with one much cheaper price.

At public internet sites in our country, sometimes you still find many places that do not have Office 2003 installed or installed but the error due to using CD key activation is incorrect.
Only then can you see how difficult it is to open the DOC file to correct it if we don't hunt for something like Atlantis 1.6.

I) The software must say first is the small size Atlantis word processor 1.6 3.77MB.

If you download the online version, you need only 107KB. You can download the trial version from the author's homepage from homepage http://www.atlantiswordprocessor.com/en/. With this trial version, you will still be able to use it quite comfortably. It will save you when you exit or save it, it will open the door to remind you to register for an acceptable price of just over 35USD.

With such a small size that it takes care of almost every function of Word 2003, it can be said that whatever Word has, it has something. Sometimes it is more than Word as the hand in tools pulls the file on each step, making it easier to read.

Atlantis Word processor 1.6 (replacing Word) only regretted 2 things that were limited to resizing all inserted text images. The second point is to re-display the old text with the error: sometimes lose the image.

Also, if you use Atlantis to simply type Vietnamese text, print or save many other forms like wri, txt, rtf.

The # 1 review is that in this software, you do not need to install and use immediately to open the easily edited DOC text file within 1 second.

Unlike the 2003 Winword, it took a few dozen minutes to wait and wanted to open Open Word to work right away, sometimes taking tens of seconds. Sometimes Word 2003 still reports the most error when you miss a lot of Vietnamese characters together.

II) The second software to replace Office 2003 is Abiword 2.46 with the size of installation up to 18MB, can be downloaded from http://www.abisource.com/ often slow connection. The special point is completely free if you use it as a personal (personal use only) but it only replaces Winword and not all Office 2003.

It's only a pity that even with this latest version you can't use it to type any Vietnamese text properly. Whether you type or choose how to unicode or VNI with both Vietspell 30 or Unikey 16 it still shows the wrong Vietnamese.

In contrast to Europeans and Americans, when using Abiword 2.46 this type of English and French text does not hide trouble like Vietnamese or adding images or resize, spelling everything is more wonderful than Atlantis 1, .5 much. It lost to Atlantis a strange point, it is okay to accept hitting any Vietnamese text correctly. Hopefully, with the next version, they will fix this unnecessary error for any Vietnamese who use Abiword more easily.

III) Open Office 2.04 replaces Office 2003 , completely free development with open source by Sun System.

You can download it from the homepage http://www.openoffice.org this latest version is about 80MB but installing your hard drive (losing time just like Office 2003) will amount to 200MB.

It can be said right away that the Office 2003 replacement software is actually the most complete with all the same functions as Office 2003 but the size is now larger.

Older versions 1.x only had 130MB after installation, no installation needed and still used text editing

In this new Open Office 2.04, you can type all documents in Vietnamese, comfortable inserting images is no longer out of the mark like Abiword 246 or Atlantis 1.6 (when you need to insert images).

One thing that is completely different from Microsoft Office 2003 is that it is free, you do not have to spend more than 200USD when you need to type well in other things like Excel and Powerpoint; Open or read htm files.

You can also use this Open Office 2.04 for WinXPE or in Linux as you like, but this is still a beta version so there are many errors: Open it easily at the first time in XPE or Linux, but on the other hand open more later It is very difficult

IV) 602PC suite : also intended to replace Office 2003, but more than that, adding photo browsing, album making and more.

The only annoyance for us is that it's a large shareware size. You can download the exe http://www.software602.com/ exe file near 100MB due to including 3 free, multiuser, paid versions (pay now) but install it on the free version only 18MB including editing photo (photo), album making (album), network (servers) in addition to 602TEXT replacing Word 2003

If you use this software (free version) for 30 days on a pretty good hard drive due to the small size of the text, or the picture is completely error-free. It is not yet available in XPE, Linux because of the Program Files section in C drive (players around the world cannot create plug-ins to use).

In short, after reviewing all 5 software to replace Office 2003, we can see that:

a) Using Atlantis Ocean Mind 1.6, the size is too small, less than 800KB.

b) If it is a text with pictures but all English, Abiword can be used well. 2.46 completely free.

c) Vietnamese text with pictures to be adjusted is only 602PC suiteTEXT or Open Office 2.04, of which only OpenOffice is completely free, but the size after installation is too large.
