REVStaffing‘s professional virtual assistants know what you may already know as well – the use of online applications as an alternative to such tools as MSWord, Excel, and PowerPoint makes good sense for the real estate professional who prefers the flexibility of having all their documents and marketing materials available to them online.
Enter OpenOffice.org by the software giant Oracle, and Google Docs by Google. These free tools offer the same features – along with the bells and whistles – of a pricier software suite like Microsoft Office.
Google Docs
Since the application is on the Web, it can be accessed from any computer with Internet access without having to purchase or download/install software.
OpenOffice.org
A reputable competitor to MSOffice, OpenOffice consists of powerful applications for producing text documents, presentations, spreadsheets, diagrams, presentations and databases, along with HTML code and XML documents. Not only will it allow you to revise standard documents, which include letters and faxes; you’ll find it manages equations and sophisticated and multi-part documents containing bibliographies, reference tables and indexes as well.
