Office alternative?

[inflames]

I haven’t gone with office 365 yet. In the past I have used office and apples versions. I wondering what the best free alternative, on windows based machine. It would just be genera use and for when my daughter starts doing a lot more homework in the future.

I have heard [LibreOffice is] one of the better ones.

I used to use (and install) OpenOffice for years; I switched to LibreOffice some while back - I have never had a problem as a result - use LibreOffice!

One caveat - LibreOffice defaults to saving in ODF (OpenDocument) Format. I tend if possible when sharing documents or spreadsheets with others to specify some ancient Microsoft format - this has never caused a problem . . . yet

Libre office or just google ones if you dont mind google sharing your information with others haha.

I use googlesheets because it allows me to pull stock data in - excel can not do this as far as I know.
