[Hidden-tech] Microsoft Office headache in Windows 10

[Shel Horowitz]

I'd use LibreOffice only as a fallback. It's OK with documents that are
straight text, but the more I formatted, the less it worked. I gave up on
it. I use Pages on my Mac, which reads and writes Word files fairly well,
and on my PC, I bought a copy of the stand-alone (non-cloud-based) MS
Office. I don't know if they still offer that option.
