Neil Brown# Microsoft is making Word automatically save new documents to OneDrive by default
LibreOffice Writer doesn't.
And it is free.
And really rather good.

Extreme Electronics@davidbcohen @neil Exactly the same as Word 97,2000,2003,2006,2010,2013,2016,2019
It emulates it perfectly.
@Extelec @neil For basic documents, sure. Anything that has embedded graphics or uses extensive style, reference or collaboration features, definitely not, alas. I have the scars that prove it.
Libreoffice is a brilliant piece of work, and it’s fine for many people. But in a business, where you have to interoperate with MS Office users, it creates a tricky support overhead that can quickly outweigh the cost of Office365, annoyingly.
Mark Burton@markhburton @Extelec @neil Thera a difference between doing those things, or doing those things in exactly the same way as a closed source application that you have to exchange data with.
