I've been trying to use #LibreOffice as a replacement for #MSOffice but it's really not the same, lots of small things that do not work in the same way or that do not exist at all, whether in word/ writer or PowerPoint/ pages.

Is there another MSOffice-equivalent out there that is more similar to Office but non-profit?
Like... the Zorin OS of MSOffice?

Ironically, when the EU asked for feedback on new tech rules, it locked the process to dear old Microsoft. A fast, focused campaign forced officials to add an open format instead. #EU #Linux #FOSS #DigitalSovereignty #OpenStandards #OpenSource #MSOffice #LibreOffice

When the EU asked for feedback on new tech rules, it locked the process to a Microsoft Excel format. A write-in campaign forced a change.

I made a flow in Power Automate that takes a flagged email, creates a new folder in Outlook with the received date, the sender, and the subject as the name for the new folder (eg '2026-02-05.BillLumbergh.Send TPS report').

After that, it creates a task in Microsoft Planner with the subject line, and includes the body of the email in the description, and a hyperlink to the original email that opens in Outlook.

It is always hard to believe that #Microsoft #Outlook can still get worse, but they never fail to find new ways to degrade performance and interface!

I have this one client who requires me to use #MSOffice, #Outlook and all that #microslop regularely makes me cry frequently. – The exact one single purpose of 2FA is to NOT react on a random request that one has not initated! What this dialog needs is a “I guess this is very wrong and I maybe worth checking for abuse” button not a “Send me an even less secure code to my E-Mail”.

I've been using #libreoffice for 10 years in my consulting business & i love it. all my clients use #msoffice, and my presentations & spreadsheets are seamless💙

I do very much want libre to release a tablet version. i always use 2-in-1 laptops, so i can notate on the fly, but i can't draw freehand in libreoffice
especially being able to sketch diagrams or mark up things in the presentation app. i really miss that feature from powerpoint😞

Hab heute nochmal einen sauberen Diskettensatz von Microsoft Word 6.0 für Windows 3.1 bekommen und erfolgreich ausgelesen und auch testweise installiert. Diesmal handelt es sich um die Update-Version aus dem Jahre 1993, die vor der Installation nach älteren Fassungen des Programms sucht. Meine Disketten von Winword 2.0b wurden zum Glück problemlos akzeptiert.

P. S.: Hier der Download-Link: https://archive.org/details/ms-word_60_de

Viel Spaß! 😉

Last I knew, Microsoft office allowed for tables (SPREADSHEETS) to be placed inside of a document. Is this still the case? Ability to sort information matters, so a standard "table" doesn't cut it. We ought to be able to sort a list in 2026....

Es geht voran! 🙂👍

Am kommenden Wochenende nehmen wir endgültig unseren Abschied von #MsOffice und #OneDrive - erfreulicherweise nehmen wir dabei sogar die gesamte erweiterte Familie mit und setzen allesamt künftig auf die europäische datenschutzfreundliche Alternative #SoftMakerOffice!

Warum nicht #LibreOffice? Ganz einfach: Am Ende müssen eben Einige auch von ihrer Arbeit leben und in diesem Falle ist es das Geld absolut wert!
