libre office is great though, google docs also pretty useful if you like programming spreadsheets.
I had my first remote job running linux back in 2000

I've been using free, open source Libre Office (and Linux-based PC) for more than a decade and it's easy to use, compatible with Office and I have zero regrets.
I'm gonna get yelled at for this, but you can download LibreOffice for free. You do have to learn a slightly different interface, but you never have to worry about this AI enshittification drive MS is on. The time has never been better to switch.

If you have some control over what software to use, then I highly recommend Libre Office. It’s works better than Office (more intuitive, less clutter), saves files to Word, Excel, etc. and is free.

If only. My university requires project budgets in excel with custom macros not ported to libre office. Otherwise I’m microsoft-free, but it’s hard to escape MS entirely.

Libre office is a genuinely good alt to ms office. The only thing it lacks is VBA, which some organisations might rely on.
But not most people even know VBA is a thing. When they realise there's good free alts. Well they won't be paying for 365 any more

J'ai réalisé ma thèse sur libre office et attaque l'index (c'est comme ça, trop tard, je sais). Il faut que sur chaque mot je clique sur insérer > TDM et index > entrée d'index > que je modifie éventuellement et clique.
Je ne trouve pas de raccourcis clavier, ça existe ? Peut se programmer ?

I can't stand to use Microsoft office anymore because of copilot. I'm so glad I switched to libre office a long time ago

Okay. Found the Libre Office Presentation app.
This is kinda fun.
Just pics not words because, if someone is talking and I can hear them, I hate having words in front of me.

I'm not sure about Libre, but Open Office and Word both have little tantrums when importing from other programs and need to be partially reformatted. Since I've done it with 31 books at this point, I barely even notice anymore, lol (that's not true--it annoys me each time, but I'm USED to it 😅)

Thanks, David! I'm a Windows user, so no Mac stuff, but I can definitely look into Libre office. I appreciate your help.

(Also please don't "helpfully" pitch Open Office, Libre Office, etc to me and tell me I should not be using Microsoft. I'm a fucking professional writer and I am well aware these things exist. Have the basic respect and courtesy to understand that I have a reason for using MS Office.)

Pretty much. I am entertained at myself because I hated the ribbon menus in Office when they came in, but I do miss them working in Libre Office.
Though I am only using Writer. Something I did successfully took copilot out of Excel.

Was noch wichtig für mich wäre abgesehen von Libre Office: Laufen Elster und die Ausweis-App? Steuererklärung und Behördenkram, bei dem man sich ausweisen muss, wären schon wichtig.
Danach Calibre (meine Bibliothek, ohne die kann ich nicht).

- I'm against gen-AI
- hiding on your PC won't prevent others using it
- cancelling office 360 payment and switching to Libre Office is more useful
- asking Mozilla to add a "Disable AI features" button would be more useful
- I switched my parents to Linux (with a green hill background :D)
