Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Though not quite as robust, this productivity suite makes a decent alternative to the ubiquitous Microsoft office. Most average users won't have a problem operating both TextMaker and PlanMaker, which look very similar to Word and Excel respectively. Both of these utilities have all the features you might expect, though it may take a bit of patience to get used to the different arrangement of them. Also, when we tried to launch DataMaker and Basic Script from the toolbar in the word-processing program, we got error messages, which is a bit discomforting. And if you're looking for an office suite with a built in e-mail client or PowerPoint functionality, you won't find it here. Still, if you seek a cheaper alternative to Microsoft Office and only work with Excel and Word, there's no reason not to give Ashampoo Office 2005 a chance.Publisher's description

Version: Ashampoo Office 2008 3.10
"I'm baffled by these great reviews."
Pros: Maybe it's just me or maybe it's because I can't stand dealing with this company at all! But I'm just not impressed enough to consider a purchase. Might be good for Vista laptops that don't score well but not for a Vista 5.3 desktop.
Cons: My MS Office has way more features & it's every bit as fast loading as this program.
Summary: I hate dealing with Ashampoo & I hate their spam emails that I get on a regular basis that I haven't been able to unsubscribe from. The only reason I tolerate it is because I love their Photo Commander 7. As far as I'm concerned, everything else... read more >>
