OpenOffice and it is free.
Don't have to use word or excel.

You have to realize what you're saying, & that your suggestion can't work.

If you were suggesting to "me" to use openoffice or staroffice or
libreoffice or framemaker or numbers-pages-keynote or polaris office or
kingston office or wps office or any number of freeware office look-alike
apps, then your suggestion might actually make a lot of sense.

But, you can't take the average extremely non-technical grade-school
teacher, and seriously suggest they use a free office-like equivalent,
when they have enough trouble just getting used to the ribbon changing
from one Microsoft office version to another.

They complain when they have to open an office 2013 doc in office 2007,
and they fail at that, half the time, without help.

They can't even print something as simples as a protected PDF without my
help.

So, if you're suggesting that free office-look-alikes are "equivalent" to
office for such a person, then you fundamentally don't understand people.

It's just not gonna happen.
