While I love and still use LibreOffice, there are sometimes slight compatibility/formatting issues between documents made in .docx on LO and MO. We have TS users at work and MS broke the function of TS install requiring all users to be licensed, so and LibreOffice. Sometimes users get weird issues with formulas not translating in spreadsheets and same with visual basic, so in those instances, I’ve had to create a 2nd file and rewrite those VB code.
I also FWD myself my resume and open at work so I can ensure my own stuff looks good in either format/program. I have noticed the latest version of Office supports .ODF extensions, which is pretty cool
This. I use LibreOffice at home and M365 at work. It’s definitely not 1:1 compatible like most people say. That’s not to bash on LO, it’s just the reality of it.
I still swear by Excel. While Calc is fine for essential spreadsheets, I run a VM just for Excel because there’s no alternative for the advanced tools.
Good to know about the odf extension though. That’s a good improvement.
