I'm talking compatibility of displaing documents more than anything else, since even different versions of Word display the same document differently sometimes.
But the closest worlflow would be nice. Preferably something like '03 MS Word Office. It was crude in many ways, but I just hate ribbon menus and love having anything at hand. Especially a style menu, customisable keybinds and batch-replace with regexps.
Is there's something to get closer to that in FOSS, or just Linux-compatible apps?
LibreOffice is generally the office suite of choice on Linux systems
Especially since LibreOffice has the old 2003 Style interface, as well as the option for the newer Ribbon style, and opens basically every type of text file known to man. It also comes default with basically every Linux distro.
If your wife doesn't like how LibreOffice looks, I hear good things about WPS Office.
I'm interested in having the same rendering of documents I write there to those they see in their Word 20-whatever. Is it ok in LO on big files?
My problem is that what I do there wouldn't look like that if they would open it in some Word. Since I need to keep formatting and stuff, I need it to be uniform.
