Opinions On Ssuite Office Please

I've been contemplating switching to SSuite Office - Personal Edition 4.4.1, which is listed as having 5 stars and is a MG "pick". Anyone use it? I assume it will open and edit .doc and .odt files?

 

This is the one in question https://m.majorgeeks.com/files/details/ssuite_office_personal_edition.html

Like you, I really just need something simple. Do you have a link to this Free Office that you use?

 

Here you go.

Thank you.

 

My apologies for not replying sooner, I received no notification of your post.

I installed it, the whole thing just to see their Excel and PP, and I love it already. It loads so much faster than Libreoffice it's amazing. It also seems much easier to navigate in as well. Thanks for the tip.

That's why I love this forum, I always get help and never any bad advice...

 

Has anyone tried this on Win 10?

 

Forget that. I was asking about SSuite Office - hadn't realised OP had shifted his attention to FreeOffice.

 

@plodr, did you have any trouble printing from FreeOffice? I posted this on their help forum earlier today (no replies yet):

I installed FreeOffice 2018 yesterday and really like it except...I went to print a shopping list, which is an .odt document, and all it prints is a few lines of gibberish on each page. This didn't stop until I ran out of paper, luckily I only had a few sheets in the printer. Here's my info:
HP laptop with Windows 10
HP ENVY 5000 series Printer
The .odt file was originally created in Libreoffice. I did try making a few changes to it (in TextMaker) and saving it, but the problem is the same.
Any ideas?

 

BTW, I even tried creating a new document (.docx) and printing that. Same thing.

 

Recommend you reinstall your printer. My Canon MG5700 was fine with FreeOffice in a trial install.

 

Pardon the question but I'd got to add & remove and uninstall it first? Then what?

 

Not familiar with your printer or how it is connected but hopefully THIS will help.

 

It's associated. On the install I had the option to do this. I did just cheak the program files and it's associated.

 

BTW, thanks folks...I may give reinstalling the printer a try...but I'm not looking forward to it. Not now though...but soon. I'm open to any other ideas. Their help forum is no help. No one even responded to my post yet.

 

Try printing something from Notepad or Wordpad. If they work ok it would look like some incompatibility issue with FreeOffice. Unusual though.

 

I did, it works. I'll have to bite the bullet and uninstall/install the printer, which I dread because I always have trouble getting the printer to work properly. Their so-called help forum sucks. I got views but not one comment.

 

If it prints normally from Wordpad there isn't much point in reinstalling as the problem is confined to printing from FreeOffice. I'm no expert in printing issues but wondering if this isn't a font issue. I would try again but change the font first, ideally to the font Wordpad uses if that's an option. I've removed FreeOffice so can't test anything myself.

 

I did this and it worked. It was a nightmare due to HP. Spent hours on it. Got it installed again and I do not know how I did it. It now prints TextMaker 2018 files...thanks.

 

I believe I am done with HP printers...it seems they have various sets of instructions for installing, none of which work in their entirety. Their video told me to reset the internet connection to default. I couldn't get the printer back on again. Still don't know how I did that either. I'm going on a three-day drunk TTFN and thank you all.

 

Last year I bought a Canon Pixma MG5750 AIO for the princely sum of £49.99. The Canon price then for a set of inks was £69.99!!! However Amazon UK do an OfficeWorld replacement set for £13.39!!! These are so good the printer thinks they are Canon originals!
The printer itself I just can't fault - superb - but may by now have been superceded.

Well done btw, and pleased you have solved your problem.

 

See you there...
