elementary comes with two excellent apps to create and edit documents: AbiWord for word processing, and Gnumeric for spreadsheets.

Abiword

AbiWord looks and functions like most word processors, so you can get right to work. It supports most document formats, including OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, rich text, plain text, PDF, HMTL, and many more. If you’ve ever used a word processor before, you’ll feel right at home. If you haven’t, you’ll be creating documents in no time thanks to AbiWord’s simple and intuitive interface.

Gnumeric

Gnumeric is an easy-to-use spreadsheet program that is both simple and familiar. If you want to create a chart, graph, or table, Gnumeric is the way to go. Gnumeric is compatible with files formatted as CSV, Excel, and OpenOffice spreadsheets, plus many more. It supports all standard spreadsheet features, such as functions, sorting, charts, and much more.
