Review: Ability Office Business office software
[2008-7-22]
Tag : adobe cheap software
When most people hear the word office software they think ofMicrosoft’s ubiquitous Office suite.
However, over the years cheaper programs, similar in terms offeatures, have cropped up, Ability Office being one.
The new version comes in standard and Business forms, but don't beput off if you're a home user – it's well suited tonon-business users, and the price remains low.
The software works with Windows Vista and XP and comes with twolicences, which means users can install the software on two homePCs. It requires 89MB of hard disk space to install the full set,which consists of Write (the Word equivalent), Spreadsheet (Excel),Database (Access), Presentation (Powerpoint), Photopaint,Photoalbum and Draw. If you do not need all of these or do not haveenough space then it is possible to pick and choose the ones youwish to use at installation.
Installing the software was quick and easy: it took us just undertwo minutes to install the complete version. Users can alsodownload the latest free updates from the website.
Most of the applications are well-built clones of their Microsoftcounterparts: Ability Write, the version of Word, is a case inpoint. Apart from the pale blue colours of the outline around thescreen there was little difference between the two. The featuresare identical, with the toolbar at the top mirroring Word 2003 (itdoesn't use the Ribbon toolbar of Office 2007), so much so thatwhen typing a document we forgot we were using Write.
One thing that sets the two apart is the icons on the toolbar.While Word has bold sharp pictures for its tools in the menus,Write’s icons are slightly washed-out and cartoon like.However, this was a small grumble and didn’t affect theability to work with the programs. Spreadsheet and Presentationalso did not let us down, performing in much the same reliable way.
