I just installed LibreOffice, 6.4.6.2. It was a piece of cake - easy download... easy installation. There is a version 7.0, but it's in beta with limited documentation and limited testing (meaning it's probably buggy). I don't even see what its new features are, so I'm not going to do that.

I've created a word processing document, printed it, saved it in both the LibreOffice format and as a .docx file, and tried opening the respective files with both Libre Writer and MS Word. Again, everything was straight forward. Writer is VERY Wordlike.

Next I created a test database with Libre Base, added a Authors table and form (frmAuthors) and added a little data. Yup. Everything works as it should.

Last, I downloaded the three pdfs available on Libre's site - for Writer, Calc and Base. The Calc pdf is 507 pages and the other two are almost as big. I guess I've got some reading to do.

How are your studies on this subject coming along?

Re: “How are your studies on this subject coming along?”
They aren't yet. Sorry. So far, Office 2007 is still working for me. I haven't seen a repeat of the 'Office is retired' implied threat and that takes all the pressure off.

I'll commit to installing Libre in the next couple of days though and will let you know how it goes.

On a separate topic, how is your retirement coming along?
