microsoft v libre office


Recommended Posts

Hi all, due to me starting college, i need an office suite on my computer. However i dont like the idea of continually having to pay to keep microsoft office on my computer. I got told by a techy geek at work about an office suite called libre office. He highly recommends it. Says its fully compatable with microsoft office and above all its free.

 

Just wondering if anybody on here has heard of it or uses it. Or is there something else thats just as good.

 

cheers.

Hi

 

Unfortunately, everything Microsoft will eventually switch to subcription based software, just wait & see.

 

Before switching to Mac about 8 years ago, Office 2000 or 2003 was perfectly adequate & to be honest subsequent versions of office from then have added precious little of real value or use, the ribbon feature in later versions being a source of annoyance whilst O2013 was little more than cosmetic and change everything around so you have to re-learn how to exploit the more uselful features.

 

Out of the freeware suites Id look at Open Office https://www.openoffice.org

I use libre office / open office , used to pay out for Microsoft office on each new computer but won't ever bother to do so again. You get almost the same functionality but it can take a bit of time to get used to finding everything if you've been used to using Microsoft over the years.
