What is the best free word processing or office program for OS X Mountain Lion

What is the best free word processing or office program for OS X Mountain Lion?

"Best" is quite subjective. As William points out, TextEdit may be the "best" in someones eyes as it isn't cludged up with crap you don't need.
What are your requirements?
Basic text editing?
Do you need:
Table of Contents
Index
Footnote/endnote management
Different headers/footers
Page Layout
What are you going to use it for?
Technical Reports
Screenplay
Leaflets and newsletters

  • What are the BEST sounding 3d-party pitch-shift programs for under 1g

    this week i just finished doing a lot of voice-over work for an independant cartoon. the files came out beautifully, and i thought i was done, but the client decided they wanted me to do post as well. being on the spot, i feverishly tried every option. of course we all know, any of the logic options sound like crap. as they did. so i also tried sending the files to final cut pro and soundtrack pro. no dice. also, what i needed was much too ambitious for autotune as well. i am having to do extreme shifting here, due to it being for cartoons. i am not really familiar with what is out there. i've seen there is 'pitch-n-time', 'melodyne'(which by the web site looks quite impressive), and i've seen a couple others. i would prefer not to have to mess with any tdm stuff though.
    if anyone has any personal experience with any Great sounding pitch software, please share.
    thanks

    Melodyne CRE8 is fantastic. I can't say enough about how powerful and intuitive this software is, and so easy to use. Just be sure you check the latest version(3) as any previous version is extremely confusing to operate effectively.

    If you are trying to convert store bought DVD's, then they are encrypted and it is illegal to break the encryption.

  • What is the best free antivirus for mac ox iBookG4?

    Hi,what is the best free antivirus for mac ox iBookG4?

    While no one may be bothering to write exploits in PPC code any longer, at least for Flash, that doesn't mean that there aren't any still floating around. The following doesn't specifically mention PPC/Intel, but that doesn't mean there weren't critical vulnerabilities being exploited for PPC in 10.1.102.64. I wouldn't want to take the chance.
    Critical vulnerabilities have been identified in Adobe Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh, Linux, and Solaris. These vulnerabilities could cause the application to crash and could potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb11-02.html
    And, from TenFourFox
    PowerPC plugins are unmaintained and insecure, and Mozilla is changing the plugin environment
    No major plugin is being maintained for Power Macs any more: Flash stopped updates with Flash 10.1.102.64 in November 2010, and QuickTime 7 for the PowerPC was decommissioned with the release of QuickTime 7.7 and OS X Lion in August 2011. (Tiger users have not had an update since QT 7.6.4 in September 2009.)
    Plugins have special access to the system. When they are instantiated by the browser, they run as if you were running any regular application, which is true even for out-of-process plugins (which were never available for 10.4Fx due to Tiger SDK limitations). Like any buggy or insecure application, they can be exploited or made to crash, and because the plugin runs within the browser, such methods can also be used to attack, spy upon or destabilize the browser as well. They have also been used to attack the network the computer is running on, and a well-crafted attack vector such as that example can run anywhere Flash does, including Power Macs. Because plugins load automatically by default when the page calls for them, your system could be exploited before you even notice.
    Many of these attacks can be mitigated, though not entirely prevented, by the use of add-ons that can block plugins from loading. However, there is still another problem apart from security: Mozilla is changing the environment and the technical requirements for how plugins interact with the system. These technical requirements are difficult to achieve with Mac OS X 10.4, and there are known graphical and compatibility bugs already. It is entirely possible that in the near future, extant PPC-compatible plugins will not function properly or at all.

    for what? office productivity?
    These aren't all free, but you can look atvthese:
    Microsoft office compatible apps and services
    Apple's iWork apps

    3rd party Microsoft equivalent apps

    Others, including cloud based
    Microsoft Office Web Apps:These are versatile apps since they can be used on or off the cloud. Expect a simplified experience to the full version of Microsoft Office suite.
    OnLive: Access both a degree of Windows desktop functionality and full Windows versions of Microsoft Office Suite.
    CloudOn: This was one of the first solutions for iOS productivity. Syncing with Dropbox, CloudOn offers a more complete Windows desktop. The tradeoff is it also offers a more pared-down version of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
    rollApp: Offers Open Office programs for iOS, also utilizing Dropbox.
    LogMeIn: Remotely access your home computer's desktop from your iOS device. This solution requires coordination of logins, settings, and hookups. The free version does not offer file transfer, but you can get a separate, free app for that.
    Google Docs: Now featuring Google Drive for iOS, users no longer have to battle with pressing the Refresh periodically to initiate syncing. This makes collaboration much smoother, resulting in a stronger office productivity product.

  • What is the best approach to process data on row by row basis ?

    Hi Gurus,
    I need to code stored proc to process sales_orders into Invoices. I
    think that I must do row by row operation, but if possible I don't want
    to use cursor. The algorithm is below :
    for all sales_orders with status = "open"
    check for credit limit
    if over credit limit -> insert row log_table; process next order
    check for overdue
    if there is overdue invoice -> insert row to log_table; process
    next order
    check all order_items for stock availability
    if there is item that has not enough stock -> insert row to
    log_table; process next order
    if all check above are passed:
    create Invoice (header + details)
    end_for
    What is the best approach to process data on row by row basis like
    above ?
    Thank you for your help,
    xtanto

    Processing data row by row is not the fastest method out there. You'll be sending much more SQL statements towards the database than needed. The advice is to use SQL, and if not possible or too complex, use PL/SQL with bulk processing.
    In this case a SQL only solution is possible.
    The example below is oversimplified, but it shows the idea:
    SQL> create table sales_orders
      2  as
      3  select 1 no, 'O' status, 'Y' ind_over_credit_limit, 'N' ind_overdue, 'N' ind_stock_not_available from dual union all
      4  select 2, 'O', 'N', 'N', 'N' from dual union all
      5  select 3, 'O', 'N', 'Y', 'Y' from dual union all
      6  select 4, 'O', 'N', 'Y', 'N' from dual union all
      7  select 5, 'O', 'N', 'N', 'Y' from dual
      8  /
    Tabel is aangemaakt.
    SQL> create table log_table
      2  ( sales_order_no number
      3  , message        varchar2(100)
      4  )
      5  /
    Tabel is aangemaakt.
    SQL> create table invoices
      2  ( sales_order_no number
      3  )
      4  /
    Tabel is aangemaakt.
    SQL> select * from sales_orders
      2  /
            NO STATUS IND_OVER_CREDIT_LIMIT IND_OVERDUE IND_STOCK_NOT_AVAILABLE
             1 O      Y                     N           N
             2 O      N                     N           N
             3 O      N                     Y           Y
             4 O      N                     Y           N
             5 O      N                     N           Y
    5 rijen zijn geselecteerd.

      2    when ind_over_credit_limit = 'Y' then
      3         into log_table (sales_order_no,message) values (no,'Over credit limit')
      4    when ind_overdue = 'Y' and ind_over_credit_limit = 'N' then
      5         into log_table (sales_order_no,message) values (no,'Overdue')
      6    when ind_stock_not_available = 'Y' and ind_overdue = 'N' and ind_over_credit_limit = 'N' then

  • What is the best free program to burn mp4 to dvd w/o watermark?

    what is the best free program to burn mp4 to dvd w/o watermark?

    Terrabay:
    I prefer iDVD for image quality of the final slideshow but you can't have KB effect and can only have one type of transition per slideshow. You can have text and music, however. For what you want to do I agree with Terence that PhototoMovie is probably your best bet. It produces some fine quality movie clips. I only used it once quite a while ago so can't make a judgement on if it's easier than iMovie.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

    what is the best free flash player and video player

    SkyFire is not free, Ralph. It's $2.99 for the iPhone version and $4.99 for the iPad version. I don't know of any of the Flash browsers that are totally and permanently free; all either cost up front or are free for a trial period only.

  • What is the best free software to create an advert on?

    I am looking to create a couple of adverts both poster and video, i was wondering what is the best free software to make these on?

    For laying out the poster ad
    Free, open source apps.
    GImp (free, open source Photoshop replacement)
    http://www.gimp.org/downloads/
    PIxelmator (cheap near Photoshop-like replacement)
    http://www.pixelmator.com/
    Free Vector drawing app.
    Inkscape
    http://www.inkscape.org/en/download/mac-os/
    Drawberry
    http://raphaelbost.free.fr/DrawBerry.html
    Free Page Layout app, if needed.
    If this is already on your Mac.
    Apple Pages app.
    OR Free, open source
    Scribus OS X
    http://www.scribus.net/canvas/Scribus
    There aren't very many free video editors for Mac OS X.
    If this is already on your Mac,
    iMovie
    KDenlive
    http://kdenlive.org/downloading-and-installing-kdenlive
    LIghtworks OS X
    http://www.lwks.com/
    A few caveats about Lightworks video editor.
    OS X version is free to download and use as a public beta testing.
    This is a very comprehensive video editor, but for free use, you have to register as a public beta tester and every week you use this you have to re-register the app and answer a survey of questions about the software.
    If you do not comply with the beta testing rules and procedures, and the developer believes you are not actively invovled with the beta testing to help develope and improve this app, the developer has the right to discontinue your free use of the software and you will no longer be able to use or activate the software.
    I really wanted to try this software for free, but didn't want to have to be tied to the beta testing rules, constant developement surveys, questions and weekly re-registering as a beta tester for the use of this software.

How can you expect them to understand you if you use strange abbreviations? Programming is an exercise in precision. If you have a question here, you would do well to communicate it precisely.
    At the site [How to Ask Smart Questions|http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#writewell] :
    h1. Write in clear, grammatical, correctly-spelled language
    We've found by experience that people who are careless and sloppy writers are usually also careless and sloppy at thinking and coding (often enough to bet on, anyway). Answering questions for careless and sloppy thinkers is not rewarding; we'd rather spend our time elsewhere.
    So expressing your question clearly and well is important. If you can't be bothered to do that, we can't be bothered to pay attention. Spend the extra effort to polish your language. It doesn't have to be stiff or formal � in fact, hacker culture values informal, slangy and humorous language used with precision. But it has to be precise; there has to be some indication that you're thinking and paying attention.
    Spell, punctuate, and capitalize correctly. Don't confuse �its� with �it's�, �loose� with �lose�, or �discrete� with �discreet�. Don't TYPE IN ALL CAPS; this is read as shouting and considered rude. (All-smalls is only slightly less annoying, as it's difficult to read. Alan Cox can get away with it, but you can't.)
    More generally, if you write like a semi-literate boob you will very likely be ignored. So don't use instant-messaging shortcuts. Spelling "you" as "u" makes you look like a semi-literate boob to save two entire keystrokes. Worse: writing like a l33t script kiddie hax0r is the absolute kiss of death and guarantees you will receive nothing but stony silence (or, at best, a heaping helping of scorn and sarcasm) in return.
    If you are asking questions in a forum that does not use your native language, you will get a limited amount of slack for spelling and grammar errors � but no extra slack at all for laziness (and yes, we can usually spot that difference). Also, unless you know what your respondent's languages are, write in English. Busy hackers tend to simply flush questions in languages they don't understand, and English is the working language of the Internet. By writing in English you minimize your chances that your question will be discarded unread.
    the main issue here is my questionMy recommendation: learn to do Swing without a code-generator. You gain a much better understanding of the underpinnings of Swing, the layout managers, and you gain extremely good control of component placement.
