How do you use office? The office productivity suite competition only picked up in the last 6-7 years
I once did a contract gig with red hat, they asked for a document. I provided an odt file they came back and said they needed a word doc. I saved the doc as a word doc in libreoffice but it completely butchered their template. I was using fedora. That made me realize Microsoft won the office suite wars. It wasn’t until 2016ish when I noticed google docs was Good Enough(tm)
- eindiran 4y agoNot OP, but this wasn't my experience at all. Pretty effortlessly switched away from Microsoft Office even before Libreoffice overtook OpenOffice (not sure of the year I switched, but I'd wager 2008 or so?). And the Google suite was an excellent supplement when OO/LO was fucking something up.
- hanselot 4y agoTo be honest I've been using portable document format for anything that needs to look the same across platforms.
- atlantic 4y agoI have an old license for Office 2007. It works fine, even on Windows 11. It has all the features I need. I've never had cause to replace it with a more recent version.
