Libre Office Comments Please

Building new Win 10 computer and am considering using Libre Office rather than Microsoft Office. If you are using Libre Office I would very much appreciate your comments pro and con and especially on compatibility with MS Office as I have a lot of files saved. Thanks.
  • I have Libre Office 5 that came along with a version of Linux that I installed on a old laptop. I have not used it much but it appears to very close to MS Office. I have used both the spreadsheet and word processor with Office files and have had no issues so far. Really only limited use though - I am not a power user.

  • Years ago I used both Libre and Open Office with various degrees of success. They both seem to be very compatible but they are not identical. I would run into issues when sharing files between friends that had full MS Office, mostly as I remember, in the area of fonts, formats, You should not have any significant issue if you open an Excel file as an example in LIbre, but be prepared to adjust cell sizes, print breaks, and a few other things.
