I'll be over at my sister's place in about a week. I guess I'll give Libre Office a whirl.
From you all's info, it sounds like it could be enough for my sister, her husband and their daughter who's in the 3rd grade.
Unlike me
... they wouldn't be needing any of the heavy duty, push the envelope Bells & Whistles.
They should be OK with enough stable MS Word compatibility to write, read and print out simplistic MS Word Docs.
And if the PowerPoint equivalent is OK and stable enough to put together simplistic Presentations for a rare occasion here and there when their 3rd grade daughter is assigned one at school, it'll be a bonus.
They wouldn't care for maintaining pace with any Libre Office monthly updates.
As long as I could give them a working, stable App that'll give them simplistic MS Word capability, I think they should be good to go.
For example: About 2 weeks ago, my sister requested that I make her an Excel Form.
With the Info and format that she wanted, I told her I could make it for her much more quickly as an MS Word Table.
I made it and sent it to her. Well, as it turned out, apparently there at her work where I sent her the MS Word Attachment, they had just gotten rid of MS Office Suite on her computer and other computers because of license issues. Therefore, now neither at work nor at home did she have capability to print out a simple MS Word Doc Table.
So, I wound up getting a Screen Cap of the MS Word Doc Table ... saving it as a JPEG and sending her that. That did the trick.
But, that's the simplistic MS Word capability that they need. Nothing fancy.
Thanks for the info, David, Craig, Speedy, Dave, OrangeCrate!
