Open Office is a good alternative if you can’t afford MS Office. But you do need to be aware that it has problems opening MS Office documents. There’s a work around, but it’s a bit complex.

Very good article. An alternative to Microsoft Office is Openoffice.org which is a free office suite. So those who can’t but can surely try out this one.

Photoshop and Corel Draw can certainly be of help if you are doing desktop publishing as an Administrative Assistant. As long as you have some graphics program available that know to be able to alter graphics, you should be okay.

Would be adobe photoshop and Corel draw enough? the MS office suite is pretty accessible for an average pc user, this that will not pose problems.

PhotoShop is great software, but because it’s so expensive, many office just won’t buy it. So a good assistant finds alternatives.

Yes, GimpShop is great for those folks who already know PhotoShop. For those who don’t know what it is, GimpShop is an overlay for Gimp which uses a similar interface to PhotoShop, to make it easier for folks who know PhotoShop to convert to GIMP. I know a number of folks who use the GimpShip overlay who like it.

Yes, GIMP is very useful and a free program, however I liked the GIMPShop which resembles more Photoshop and myself being a Photoshop person, I am more comfortable with GIMPShop.

Yes, free is the best part about it. Many small non-profits and businesses just can’t afford the Adobe software, so GIMP is a nice product for them.

GIMP is sweet AND more importantly FREE! But I agree about the learning curve thing.

GIMP is sweet, however if you’re not familiar with photoshop it may have a decent learning curve
