ONLYOFFICE Description
ONLYOFFICE allows offline and online editing of documents, spreadsheets, and presentations from a single window, delivering an engaging Office suite suitable for both the home user and small to mid-sized companies.
The ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors application for Windows facilitates the offline editing and creation of Office files while also providing access to the online ONLYOFFICE portals to allow quick file sharing and team collaboration.
Sleek appearance and tab-based GUI
With a visually-appealing interface and intuitive controls, ONLYOFFICE enables its users to open documents, worksheets or presentations or create new ones from scratch. It comes with support for some of the most popular file formats, even those native to Microsoft’s office suite, namely: DOC and DOCX, ODT (OpenDocument), RTF and TXT. Moreover, it can open PDFs, XPS, and DjVu files, and download HTML or EPUB content.
The distinct feature of ONLYOFFICE is the tab-based viewer and editor, which enables users to open multiple documents in multiple tabs of the same window. In other words, it doesn’t require individual applications for text files, presentations and spreadsheet editing, like it happens with most of the other Office suites out there.
Text editor, spreadsheet and presentation creator
Although it does not match the capabilities of Microsoft Word, the text editor comprises a rich feature set that is more than enough for the average user. It comes with font and paragraph customization options, picture and hyperlink insertion, chart creation tools, and a generous collection of shapes, symbols, and buttons one can use to make the document more appealing.
Spreadsheets and presentations can be opened in a separate tab. The presentation editor comprises a basic set of tools for creating and managing slideshows, with a few transition effects and preview.
As for the spreadsheet editor, it includes various types of charts and a generous function collection that should be enough for creating professional-looking statistical reports.
Collaboration and file sharing via an online platform
All the editors in ONLYOFFICE feature their own settings panel and, although the options there are not extensive, they manage to provide a decent set of tools.
Comments can be attached to documents, which facilitates communication and team work. Collaboration and file sharing is possible via the ONLYOFFICE portals but note that, unlike offline editing, this online resource is not cost-free and requires the creation of an account. Nevertheless, the created portal stores all your documents and allows you to share them easily with others.
A promising Office substitute
The desktop editor provided by the ONLYOFFICE portal is designed to facilitate document editing and project management without neglecting team work. The ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors offer a viable alternative to paid office suites that also has the potential of becoming a more serious competitor for cost-free ones.
