1479224 2021-08-09 22:34:00 Is open office still the best alternative for MS Office? Or, there are better ones, free? Free of course. bk T (215)
1479225 2021-08-09 22:51:00 Theres several, most will only have options like Word, Excel & power Point.

Free office as the name implies - You have to register and get the free Licence but that's no biggie, if you don't want any emails from them then use a throwaway or Temp.

Another free one Only Office

www.onlyoffice.com/ ( downloads under Products and Features or https:) Saves automatically as Microsoft Formats- see below:

Only thing you have to do with some of these alternatives is change the file formats to MS Office. Been MANY a person save documents and no one else can open them as they don't have a program that will open, this includes Open Office formats.

1479228 2021-08-10 08:04:00 I like free office and its what I now use, Libre office had some formatting issues I couldn't seem to resolve. gary67 (56)
1479229 2021-08-10 08:35:00 WPS Office is another good one; it's Chinese made but has had the best compatibility with MS Office files so far as I've seen, and if you're at home in newer versions of Office then you'll find it easy to use.

Otherwise as the others have said, LibreOffice is great, free and the default choice for many people.
