Microsoft Office is still the mainstream document software today. It has many built-in powerful functions and is loved by many businesses and users. However, for most people or families, the frequency of daily use of document software may not be high. In this case, spending a lot of money to buy a document software with built-in functions that will never be used in a lifetime may not be worthwhile.
If you only need to use it occasionally, you can try OnlyOffice. Although it has many fewer functions than MSOffice, it is enough to meet basic document and typesetting needs.
OnlyOffice software features
- open source free software
- Cross-system support: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS
- Can be used offline or jointly edited using the self-hosted cloud
- Generally compatible with MS Office file formats (yes, roughly ~ because it is impossible to be 100% compatible)
- Compatible with ODF open file format
- Integrated paging functionality
- Provide plug-ins
Use teaching
When OnlyOffice is opened, the homepage interface will look like this, very simple and clean.
The functions distinguished by region are:
Basic operations
After entering the editing screen, the overall interface will be very similar to MS Office. The difference is that the detailed adjustment options will appear on the right and will change according to the selected project.
Integrated paging
OnlyOffice has a paginated design like a browser, which is the biggest difference from MS Office. It can avoid opening too many windows and causing the screen to be too cluttered. Drag the pagination to separate the windows or change their order. Unfortunately, paging can only be combined with the homepage window, and there is no way to create it between independent windows.
Multiple windows can be combined with the home page window using paging.
Although windows can be separated, they cannot be combined with each other.
plug-in
OnlyOffice provides plug-in functions. Although there are not many at present, there are still some practical functions, such as Draw.io, Google Translate, etc.
The selected text can be translated directly next to it.
The way to add plug-ins is also very simple, just plug-in In the paging, select Plugin Managerafter finding the plug-in you want, click Install The addition is complete.
Summarize
For users with low needs, I personally think OnlyOffice is a good choice. In addition to having an interface similar to MS Office, you can get started faster; the paging design is also convenient for organizing and managing windows. Although there may be some deficiencies in some functions, such as some translations are not complete and the opening speed is slightly slower, for a free software, it is quite good to have such functions and user experience.
