Microsoft's messaging on the subject hasn't done it any favors, either. Its end-of-support page for Office 2019 for Mac, originally posted in October 2023, once told owners to "Rest assured that all your Office 2019 apps will continue to function." A revision now dated May 15, 2026 has dropped that line, replacing it with a note that their data "can be accessed in a supported Microsoft 365 or Office product."

There might be any one of a number of confusions here, depending how I read your comment. Or there are none at all. Hard to be sure. But for clarification's sake:

Euro Office is not OnlyOffice. OnlyOffice is not OpenOffice, which is essentially defunct but was the most popular suite that first adopted ODF. OnlyOffice may have been named that way to lure people away from OpenOffice, which was, and is, still in use in some places despite a better non-proprietary option being available. Namely:

LibreOffice is the successor to OpenOffice and uses ODF as its default, so its support is 100%.

OnlyOffice supports* ODF too, but it's by far not the, uh, only one.

* According to their specifications anyway. I haven't used it to be able to confirm how good their support is.
