Isn't just awkward that you use a different app? How do you explain?

This. I use LibreOffice at home and M365 at work. It's definitely not 1:1 compatible like most people say. That's not to bash on LO, it's just the reality of it.

I still swear by Excel. While Calc is fine for essential spreadsheets, I run a VM just for Excel because there's no alternative for the advanced tools.

Good to know about the odf extension though. That's a good improvement.

    I use LO for all my Office Suite needs. When I have to share with someone that uses MSO, I just run it through Only Office, see if it keeps the way I want to share it, and call it a day. Also, I make sure I have all the MS fonts installed.
