The answer is pretty obvious - use a desktop based office suite. It's very hard for smaller players to compete with web apps like Google Apps and expect similar quality. With desktop apps you have full control. I would suggest looking into OpenOffice (or LibreOffice I guess), or simply just paying for Microsoft Office. Then you can use Office365 but download the apps and store files locally (or somewhere shared).
- pabs3 6y agoOpenOffice is not very well maintained, I would go with LibreOffice these days.
- tmaly 6y agoWe have both at the office. I have found the opposite to be true. OpenOffice is able to open certain xlsx files where as LibreOffice cannot open them. I cannot just downloaded the latest versions. I am stuck with what is available on RHEL.
- davidgerard 6y agothis would be absolutely amazing, given that AOO's OOXML support is rudimentary. Which version of each, and what precisely happens?
- livre 6y agoDo you mean you are not allowed to install the latest versions or that you are not allowed to download anything? If you can still download things you could give the LibreOffice AppImage[1] a try. [1] https://www.libreoffice.org/download/appimage/ https://www.libreoffice.org/download/appimage/
- pabs3 6y agoIf your version of RHEL supports Flatpak, I would suggest using that (or the AppImage posted by someone else). https://www.libreoffice.org/download/flatpak https://www.libreoffice.org/download/flatpak Either way, the fact remains that the OpenOffice development community imploded and takes a long time to even fix security issues.
