    LibreOffice works at least as well as Word on its own terms, the problem is how Microsoft deliberately breaks interoperability so you can’t reliably share the documents you create on Libre with people who are going to open them with Word.

      Absolutely. Works great for printing or converting to pdf, though. I just export them to docx anyway and see what happens.

      Don’t they both use the open format now? .odt? I haven’t needed to use an office suite for a while, but I would have thought that it would force compatibility.

          Sorry, first chance I’ve had to check.

          I’ve just opened a new file in Word and gone to Save As, and .odt is the default choice.
