My #MSOffice installation threw one of those fits when you won’t let it connect to the mothership, so it will not function without fishing out the disks and reinstalling. It does this every year or three.
So far, I have had a few instances with either word or spreadsheet documents needing editing. While I love using #Corel #WordPerfect #QuattroPro suite, it doesn’t always handle things as well.
I remembered a stale copy of #LibreOffice was installed, so I tried that. It managed all I have needed of it so far, and I suspect I will not reconsider the Office reinstall unless I need to use PivotTables, and that isn’t very often lately.
Yes, the Office is an old version, and owned, not leased. I have more than had my money’s worth out of it, and no, there is no way I will be upgrading it. No, I don’t let it near the www.
