Crystal Office 1.26

Were you looking for an office suite that will help you work faster and consequently make your life a little bit easier? If you answered “Yes” to this question then you should know that there is an office suite available out there that meets these requirements. I am of course talking about the Crystal Office Systems-developed, the aptly named Crystal Office.

Crystal Office is a collection of applications that are meant to help you complete routine tasks faster and with better results. You could compare it with Microsoft’s productivity suite Microsoft Office. Crystal Office offers similar functionality as MS Office does – but it is considerably less expensive.

Here are the applications included in Crystal Office:

NotePro – this is a text editor that offers a lot more functionality than Microsoft’s Notepad or WordPad. NotePro is like Notepad on steroids. Check out our review of NotePro here.

DayMate – this is an easy to use, powerful and quite useful day planer that can do a lot of things. DayMate lets you create reminders so you will never forget about an important event. The reminder can be displayed as a popup or can be sent via email. DayMate can also perform scheduled tasks, like opening a document, opening a website, or launching an application at a specific time. DayMate can also speak out the time, sync your system time, or shutdown your computer at a specific time. Check out our review of DayMate here.

CellPro – this is the equivalent of MS Excel (it can even open and save Microsoft Excel files). CellPro is an easy to use spreadsheet application that will come in handy when you need to organize, analyze and manage important data and financial information

ChartPro – this project management application will come in handy when you need to create and display projects using a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) Chart. WBS charts offer an intuitive means of planning and displaying projects.

Clip Plus – this application will put the Windows clipboard on overdrive. This application automatically grabs and saves text, images, and objects as they are copied to the clipboard – and makes them available to you at any time.

If you are looking for a viable replacement for MS Office, Crystal Office is well worth a try. It is a powerful office suite for home and business use and it is provided at an affordable price.

Pros

• Easy to use
• Powerful features
• Not as expensive as MS Office

Cons

• Free to try – you can use Crystal Office free of charge only during a 30-day trial period
