In their own words
Ability Office
Ability Office is a paid Windows office suite with desktop apps and offline editing. Version 11 includes a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation application, database, and photo editor. The Standard edition contains word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation tools; Professional adds a database and Photopaint graphics editor. It opens and saves Microsoft Office 2024, 2021, 2019, and earlier formats, and supports OOXML and ODF import and export. The interface can resemble Microsoft Office 2019 or use traditional toolbars and ribbon mode. Professional’s database handles Access MDB and ACCDB files, while Photopaint supports PSD and other mainstream graphics formats. Documents and spreadsheets export to PDF or XPS; presentations also export to HTML Web-Album and image formats. Pricing starts at $39.99, paid once, with a 30-day trial and no free plan. Personal, team, and small-business licenses define user and PC limits.
