dumb question - but how best to edit/update word files on linux/ubuntu?
The only issue with linux I am wondering about is sharing my CV where most companies need a word file.
For dev work/play time - 100% linux
- worble 1y agoLibreoffice has always just worked for me, but I don't do anything special with word. I've also heard that OnlyOffice is very good and has better compatibility with Microsoft's formats, but I've never personally used it.
- SunlightEdge 1y agoOk! I can just use Google docs! it downloads automatically as a word file and it looks in word pretty much exactly how it looks in Google docs Personal Office is a total waste of money
- jlarocco 1y ago> The only issue with linux I am wondering about is sharing my CV where most companies need a word file. Maybe it's regional, but I've never been asked for a Word file resume. I've never had somebody turn down a PDF. And all of the "Upload you resume" online applications I've seen also support PDF. A lot of them lately will even correctly parse out the info and auto-fill forms with it, but some of them mangle it.
- AuthAuth 1y agoFor CV I use libreoffice and save it as a PDF/a. If it needs to be editable for some reason you can use docx or odt(odt might scare the average office worker so stick with docx).
