There are some alternatives to the Microsoft stuff these days, LibreOffice does about 99%+ what MS Word can do I think.

Yeah, it’s OK, except for that stupid combination recent file list (like if Word, Excel, Access, etc., shared a recent file list). Unfortunately, there are a couple critical things it’s missing that I need, more in Calc vs. Excel than in WP app. One thing that’s is missing in the word processor though, is the ability to search for formatting characters in Word. Like search for for ‘^t’ to find tabs or ‘^p’ to find paragraph marks. The Windows office suite field is OK. They’re all decent, but no standouts, OO and Office included. Fortunately I don’t have to do most of my work in those type apps.
