@glitchdx @ripcord how good are either of them for compatibility with word track changes and comments?! *Really* want to come off MS Word after this but I need collaborative tools.

I'm happy with ~~openoffice~~ libreoffice, but I also haven't needed to open a word doc in years so I can't speak for the current state of inter compatibility.

Surely you didn't actually mean "openoffice"...?

[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

whoops, meant libreoffice

@glitchdx hmm. I'll have to look into it. Most of the companies I work with are locked into office so I may be stuck with it but it'd be lovely to get rid.
