There is a free web version of Word that is pretty good.
- ashton314 3y agoYou lost me at “web”. Local-first is so much nicer for my workflow—and I am sure this holds for most other people.
- criddell 3y agoThe person I responded to uses Google Docs.
- dredmorbius 3y agoKey word, sometimes: Closest thing that I use is Google docs, sometimes.... The reason I use vim for everything now is - I use vim for everything. <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39230525 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39230525>
- yashrk 3y agoDo you mean a Word from Office360? From my experience Word from Office360 breaks complex formatting of desktop Word document even worse, than LibreOffice/Google Docs does.
- chaxor 3y agoYou mean OpenOffice? Because it's not quite the same thing. It can cause some differences in appearance for docx (though that doesn't mean much, since M$FT Word also doesn't display their own doc format consistently either).
- criddell 3y agoNo, OpenOffice is the Apache project that shares ancestry with LibreOffice. I’m talking about the Microsoft product that is now sold under the Microsoft 365 Online brand. It isn’t a perfect replacement but for the times I’ve used it, it’s been pretty good.
