# Lighter alternatives for your office

- Abiword is a word processor, which can read almost all known document formats. You will have access to any fonts installed in your system and editing documents is a breeze.
- Gnumeric is a spreadsheet program with an emphasis on accuracy. It can also be used to merge mathematical data into Abiword documents.
- While Abiword and Gnumeric are considered lightweight, they provide almost all of the functions of the OpenOffice suite.

For power users, the OpenOffice.org suite is available in just a few clicks – just install it from the Ubuntu Software Center.
