The concept of "Office" as a full package of utilities and programs is not something that needs a lot of discussion - you either use the standard one supplied with your pc or opt for the only viable alternate: OpenOffice.  http://www.openoffice.org/

What we will look at is the more flexible idea of separate programs available that can fulfill your own specific needs, so you can build an office environment of your own.

Atlantis Nova.  A very good word processor that should cover most tasks and include all sorts of text formatting.

Angel Writer.  Another similar word processor with the added extra of being able to save documents in html format aswell as rich text.  In fact the program could almost double up as a very good simple web page designer, except for the fact that any images used will retain fixed file paths rather than portable ones that html needs.  This means you would have to re-open the html document in a text editor and edit each picture line.
But Angel Writer does perform well and has a lot of good formatting options.

Ted Notepad.  An alternative to the standard Notepad that comes with your pc, it looks almost identical until you open the menus and see the wealth of extra utilities.  For such a small program it is a powerhouse for text handling and is very highly recommended.  Tip:  don't try to actually physically replace the existing Notepad - your operating system will not function properly.

Advanced Diary.  Most diary programs are more of a 'scheduler'.  they function best for planning the future.  Advanced Diary is different in that it is for recording what has already happened, and can store the data in different categories.  Very few programs exist that do this, or can do it in such an orderly way.

WordWeb.  One of the most popular digital dictionaries around.  Hides in your tray until you need it.  Updates are regularly available too.

ToDoList.  A very advanced form of todo list.  If you want to coordinate activities between several people this is for you.  Extremely flexible with many options and operating modes.

CSVed.  If you need to work with csv type files, nothing does it better than CSVed.  The author has obviously a lot of experience working with such files and has covered virtually everything you will ever need - plus more.
