I have heard of free software comparable to MS Office Suite?

How well does it work when people send you MS documents excel, and powerpoint info, or when you send it to them.

Is bascially problem free.

Any info will be appreciated.

Thanks in advacne

It opens all Office formats. You can set it to save in MS Office formats by default.

Has anyone tried Opaloffice I see it advertised in Powerpoint ads

Opal Office is a scam, it's just the free OpenOffice that people are trying to sell.
