Open Office review:
The Apache OpenOffice Writer is the best Microsoft Word alternative text editor for writing an essay, and it works
Windows 8,
Windows 7,
Vista,
Linux, and
Mac OSX -- plus, it's relatively fast and easy to do OpenOffice
MLA style, including the setting up the header, the date format, the spacing, and the MLA title page format for the first page.
Plus, the updated video shows an example of how to export as
PDF (instead of using "
Save as"
ODF or
ODT) so that you can print it at a library, high school, or college location
The downloadable template document file above should also work for
Libre Office 3 / Libre Office 4, though I prefer OpenOffice vs LibreOffice -- please feel free to contact me for help if there are any issues, though I may just recommend installation of OpenOffice in the end
