Boy oh boy, I can't wait to use Libre Office Writer and have the exact same issues, but only half the features!

    I'm going to be honest and I mean this sincerely.

    What features has word added in the last decade that are actually impactful?

    I wouldn't mind some book writing features, like the ability to jump to chapters, and maybe text previews of each. I don't think Office does this either, but it would be nice. Also...why does it use an English dictionary that's missing like 30% of the language?

    Collaborative editing is the main thing that puts it above Libre in a professional setting.

    I use Libre at home, but at work MS Office wins 😕

    Ok but that isn't really word in the libre office sense. That's more Microsoft 365, which is fair I guess because I don't even know if you can buy the actual software anymore.

    Are you able to do the collaborative editing in the local software or is it just the browser based Google docs equivalent?
