A concise comparison of office suites

Overview
This article summarizes a comparison of several office suites, focusing on offline desktop use, current status, OS support, and file format compatibility.

What to look for
- Platforms: Where a local application exists that can run without an internet connection.
- Status: Which suites are still active and which are discontinued (discontinued items are shown in light purple).

OS support
- For each suite and operating system, the table shows one of five possible compatibility outcomes, indicating how well the suite runs on that OS.

File formats and standards
- The comparison lists which formats each suite can read and save (examples: .doc, .xls, .odt, .ods, .docx, .xlsx, .pdf).
- It also notes the standards they use (ODF ISO 26300, OOXML ISO 29500, PDF ISO 32000).

Bottom line
Use this guide to pick a suite based on your operating system, whether you need offline access, and the document formats you require.
