Word perfect

This has been going longer than MS Office and versions on various operating
systems and hardware platforms has been in existence since 1980.

directly with MS Office in including applications for word processing, spreadsheets,
email and presentation. A brief history is provided here and product details including downloads are available here. This is not a free application with licensing along similar lines to MS Office.
