inefficient to use because you still very easy to use. The user can easily
have to find the merge cell, auto delete, insert, and perform different tasks
sum, at the toolbar. The options are using the table because its options appear
not in order, somehow. just at the upper left side of the page I am
using.
Graphics The words are clear and nice and The graphics are fixed and vivid which is
understandable. pleasing to look at.
File Management This cannot open the file you want to This can open files from MS Word so I
see from OO Writer. don't have to worry if I have saved your
file using MS Word.

Conclusion: As I evaluate Open Office Writer from MS Word, I conclude that OO Writer is more
efficient and have less-time-usage. MS Word is easy to use but then, OO Writer is way more
easy.

Recommendation: I suggest that for those user, if your projects, assignments, or any other to-do-list
with regards to the computer works, if you have more time, you can use the MS Word. But if
you are in a rush, use the OO Writer, then you're in the right choice! =)
