Microsoft's traditional office suite, Office, doesn't convince you? You need to know then that there is no need to force us to use it, nor to have to pay for it if we have not purchased it together with Windows. In these cases, you should download some alternatives within the same segment, and although there are several good ones to consider, we believe that Kingsoft Office is one of the best.

The first thing you must consider about Kingsoft Office is that it is an office suite, as it could not be otherwise, which stands out above all because it is postulated as one of the most complete alternatives to Microsoft Office. Kingsoft Office has a free version, which is the one we will focus on this time, which gives us immediate access to the most common applications when we think about office automation tasks at home.

That is to say, Kingsoft Office will allow you to find a text editor, a presentation creator, and a spreadsheet editor. In your particular case, the names of these tools are Writer, Presentation, and Spreadsheets. In other words, you can carry out many of the classic actions that an office suite allows us to perform, with the advantage that you will not have to pay for it.

Let's talk a little in detail about each of these internal services of Kingsoft Office so that you know their main objectives and functions:

• Kingsoft Writer: the classic word processor, which works in a very similar way to the Word we have known all our lives, with tools to create documents, copy them, cut, and all the others that are part of this type of application.
• Kingsoft Spreadsheets: the spreadsheet tool that, in this case, is specially developed to emulate the classic Excel, perfect for entering all kinds of data and information in your documents.
• Kingsoft Presentations: for sure, you know PowerPoint, and on this special occasion, we are in the presence of a system that will allow us to create all kinds of presentations, no matter if you have to generate one for work or college or if you want to make a good gift to that special person in your life.

These applications are installed simultaneously when we download this comprehensive system, although, as always, later, you can open just one, work with another, etc.

Another interesting aspect of Kingsoft Office is that users who are used to working with Microsoft Office will hardly go through an adaptation process due to the enormous visual similarities between the two. Remember that these similarities occur mainly concerning the 2013 and earlier versions of Microsoft Office and not so much with the later ones.

At the same time, if we say that from the aesthetic point of view, there are many elements in common, in the same way, we have to emphasize that Kingsoft Office has almost the same functions that we can find in the Office of a lifetime. This is extremely important because other office suites that try in some way to become an option to Microsoft's, unfortunately, do not integrate so many utilities.

In our experience of using Kingsoft Office, we have found that the overall performance of the platform is very positive, so that we can take advantage of its functions even on an older computer without any inconvenience. You have to know, in the same way, that there is no need to register or anything like that to take advantage of the internal content creation and editing programs we have at our disposal.

Although like any platform of this type Kingsoft Office uses its formats for the documents we create using it, you should not lose sight of the fact that it is also compatible with some of the most common formats, such as those of Office, among which are DOC, XML, or PPT. In the case of its text editor, it will also allow you to export documents in PDF format, which is used by many users.

The user interface of Kingsoft Office is very similar to that of the usual Office, so it has a clear pass in this field. You will see that both the location of the menus and the placement of the documents you are working on are similar, so don't worry about this issue.

In summary, we believe that Kingsoft Office is one of the best options in free office suites that we can find for Windows computers right now, one that lacks absolutely nothing of what we could expect. If we add that its resource consumption is below average compared to other similar programs, you shouldn't stop considering it.
