Gregory's Server@remixtures @msbellows I am so glad to have an ancient copy of MS Office 2011 for Mac that I cherish. I do most of my writing in Scrivener, by a small company which will likely never behave like this, but still use Word, Excel, etc when I have to. I'm going to try to hold into these as long as possible. I've turned off auto updates on everything that will let me. And I'll soon be looking into moving my clients' communications away from Google Docs to maybe something like Proton.

 @msbellows @remixtures Yes but will Libre let you see every document in the whole project in an organized folder list to one side while you compare, reference, and edit two documents side by side in a split screen, like Scrivener can?  @corbden@defcon.social @msbellows@c.im @remixtures@tldr.nettime.org Never mind fancy dan features like that: I dumped Libreoffice because it doesnt support using named ranges in cell lists (among other shortfalls but that one was a deal-breaker). Pretty sure Excel has had that since the mid-90s.  @corbden @remixtures Isn't that what 5x8 cards, thumbtacks, and a resigned acknowledgement that you'll never get the security deposit back anyway are for? |
@corbden @remixtures I like LibreOffice better than anything since Corel WordPerfect for DOS.
