Free programs similar to Excel and Outlook

[Devane]

About a week or so ago, kbstoikop suggested www.abisource.com for a free word program similar to Microsoft Word, for which i am grateful. Has anyone got any similar suggestions for Excel and Outlook please?

You can try OpenOffice

OpenOffice.org components include word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, drawings, data charting, formula editing, and file conversion facilities (including those for Microsoft Office formats).

For Outlook just use Outlook Express.

Thanks Randy, from a Brit living in the US. I will give it a try.
