SoftMaker Office, a versatile and cross-platform Office suite, is a proper alternative to Microsoft Office and a powerful Office solution that will meet all your needs. You can use it to work on text documents, to create spreadsheets, to come up with presentations, and more.

SoftMaker Office is available for multiple platforms: Windows, Windows Mobile, Linux, and Android.
SoftMaker Office is available as a Standard and as a Professional Edition (the main difference between these two editions is that SoftMaker Office Professional comes with Berlitz Basic Dictionary for multiple languages).

A 30-day trial version of SoftMaker Office for Windows is available for download right here on FindMySoft. The setup wizard that helps you install the trial on your Windows PC will have you pick between a Typical, Custom, and Complete installation. Go with the Custom installation and you’ll get to choose what elements will be installed on your PC.

The SoftMaker Office suite is made up of 5 applications:
TextMaker – offers word processing and text editing functionality, just like Microsoft Word. It can be associated with DOC, DOCX, RTF, ODT, and OTT files.
Presentations – a presentation graphics software package that’s similar to Microsoft PowerPoint. It can be associated with PPT, PPS, PPTX, PPTM, PPSX, PPSM, POTX, and POTM PowerPoint files.
PlanMaker – use it to work on spreadsheets just like you would with Microsoft Excel. It can be associated with XLS, XLT, XLSX, XLSM, XLTX, and XLTM Excel files.
Mozilla Thunderbird – SoftMaker Office’s equivalent to Outlook is Mozilla’s powerful email and news client, Thunderbird.
BasicMaker – this is a programming environment that can be used to create scripts and thus control TextMaker, PlanMaker and other VBA-compatible Windows programs.

If you’ve used Microsoft Office, OpenOffice, or another Office suite in the past, you’ll find that TextMaker, PlanMaker, and Presentations have a familiar interface. It must be mentioned here that the interface provides support for multiple languages and offers multiple customization options.

TextMaker, PlanMaker, Presentations, and BasicMaker, they all come with detailed Help files. Access the Hep documentation to view detailed information on what these applications can do. Access the Help documentation to access detailed information on how to use all the functionality these applications have to offer.

SoftMaker Office checks everything on the list of what an Office suite should do. It really is a versatile and powerful Office suite.

Pros

SoftMaker Office is available for multiple operating systems. The setup wizard lets you pick between a Typical, Custom, and Complete installation. Edit text with TextMaker, create presentations with Presentations, work with spreadsheets by using PlanMaker, manage your emails with Thunderbird. Advanced users will like the BasicMaker programming environment.

Cons

Trial limitations: 30-day trial, nag screen.
