I'm now downloading the LibreOffice, and will test it soon.

OpenOffice? Tried it, but didn't like the interface. And the fact that they purposely changed the terms used, to make it different from Microsoft. Which is kinda silly, as it makes me confuse, haha..

Can you guys tell me which software with the most similar interface to Microsoft Suites?
And preferably can be used to amend Microsoft Suites documents?

Have you tried using SoftMaker FreeOffice ?

It's probably what you are looking for.

AM now downloading the software.

Tried my hands on LibreOffice, and was utterly disappointed.
I opened an .xlsx file, only to find out that there are many data missing.
For example, the vlookup column, it is now showing as 'error502', whatever the hell that means.

Will give my review on the FreeOffice once I have tried it, thanks

I will suggest OnlyOffice

It aims to be an Office clone so it may be suitable for you

I strongly recommend LibreOffice and WPS Office Suite.

Well, if you want to fully utilised all the features MS Office offering in their MS Office Suite. Then disappointed to tell you, no Office Suite can work perfectly fine with all the MS Office Suite features. If MS Office release all the source code for entire MS Office Suite. Then nobody will be buying MS Office Suite.
