I have a standalone copy of Office 2024 that I paid over $400 for. I noticed that the batch file I use to prevent the “Backup this document” nagware banner doesn’t seem to work anymore.

If that stupid banner comes up even one more time, I’m installing LibreOffice. I’ve really had it.

I have used LibreOffice for a decade now, not just at home, but including company work where others are using MS Office/365. Haven't run into any compatibility issues in a long time (years).

I wouldn't give MS a nickel for MS Office/365 these days.

“I have a standalone copy of Office 2024 that I paid over $400 for.”

I have a standalone copy of Office 2003 that I paid nothing for in 2002 when MS wanted our office to get a heads-up on what was going to be released. No ribbon!

I treat that disk like gold. (The disk actually IS gold - LOL!) When we’ve moved, it was in my carry-on. It’s in our safe. It has installed fine on all of my PCs, even on Windows 10.
