I see that she decided to try LO. That should be fine as long
as she doesn't need to work on a file together with others. DOCX
is pretty much supported, as is DOC.
If she has to buy MSO, buy the cheapest real software available.
There should be no need to buy the latest. Avoid MSO 365. Of course,
there are the usual problems of cloud. But also, I was just reading
that MS are warning people on Win10 that MSO 365 will go unsupported
this year. It will still run, but they could change something at any time
to break in on Win10. As someone still using Paint Shop Pro 5 from
1999, and Visual Studio 6 from 1998, I can't imagine installing a program
that pretends to be online and then spies and might break at any time.
