How does it stack to Open Office? Got that years ago & it's been treating me well.

OpenOffice is not recommended, I hope you mean OnlyOffice, they get confused sometimes.

[โ€“] CoffeeJunkie@lemmy.cafe 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nope! I do believe it's OpenOffice, an older version, idk I downloaded a popular FOSS version a few years back. Pretty insane that Microsoft actually thinks people should pay a subscription to rent this stuff, lol

OpenOffice is basically dead. Libreoffice is a branch of it that gets regularly updated.

Does it do macros, and does it save in .dotx and DOCX formats?

I find Softmaker FreeOffice easier to use, especially if you want a similar UI to MS office, german company but not opensource. Now, I only use it occasionally, I don't know which one is better for heavy users, they have a paid version too.

Now if they could do the same for Gimp. What a UX mess.

Isn't Krita considered the better open source image editor now? I keep meaning to learn it.
