Default Open-Source (Free!) Virtual Assistant Software
I'm new here, but I thought I'd add some nice freebie software that a lot of VAs can use:

Open Office
(Free alternative to MS Office; you can read/edit MS files in this suite as well.)

GNO Time
(Easy and free way to track time spent on projects and generate invoices afterwards.)

Scribus (Free desktop publishing software)

Meeting Room Booking System
(Free meeting scheduling/room reservation software)

Anytime; glad to be of service! I'm a big proponent of open-source software; most of the time, it works better than the expensive proprietary versions out there!

Reading this topic looks like my new podcast series "Software Savvy Sub" may be helpful for new VAs. One of our first topics is free software. Take a look at my blog to listen to the first couple series.

Although I'm not familiar with desktop publishing, I'm going to do research on this and maybe implement this into my services.
