git directory in each odf zip would help a lot. And they should give people access to the files in a non "WYSIWYG" way because that is more efficient and less distracting, editing content and formation should not be mengeled together at least not exclusively but that is more difficult task for the start a included. Even if you would not see the changes in a useful manner, having a "go back to 2 versions before because I made a mistake between the last 2 saves, would be a major feature probably much more easy to implement than the vulcan shit.

Of course that would not scale if somebody would want to send you 100 or 500 office documents it's not plausible to open them and save them again for each of them, but that is not a very common scenario.Ībout Libreoffice, they are to conservative, they should either in the odf file format or as addon add git support, and not on the zip file but inside it or the uncompressed file so that a diff would give you meaningful data and each commit is not just a 100% new file that replaces the old one but only adds the changes. And they probably remember to send you in the future always the correct version. And it's so minimal to do that even if the power dynamic is not in your favor if you are not communicating with a total choleric they will do this small step for you. So they learn that if they use MS Office they get this strange emails from many people that ask them to save it in a different format, so they don't feel that ohhh I use MS Office all works without problems idea because others waste hours to transform their garbage formats. Techy people will probably try to work around by either run ms office in wine or convert it or do some other shit to open the docx file, but that is not really a moral thing A it costs you likely more time than the other person and B the other person don't learn that there exist something outside the MS Universe and C they learn that MS Office Format is not accepted everywhere. Therefor you just can send people your odf files, except you want for some reason create pdfs like better readability, but it sounds that you have to because else other people can't view it.Īnd if somebody sends you a docx file, you should tell him that he should save it as odf, again easy to do in MS Office if the person is not very verse with computers there are easy guides to do it that you can link to in the mail lika that: If "export to/save as PDF" works with Adobe Reader, the office suite suits my needs.You try to defend Libre office but you kind of repeat urban myths, maybe 1 2 years ago I would have said the same advice because I did not know it better, but MS Office can perfectly fine open and save ODF Files. Damn near any office suite will suit my needs so that really isn't saying too much. I can say "it's good enough" because, for my needs, it actually is.

Libre works just fine for me because because I export everything to PDF first. If you can't do any of those then you might as well forget Linux exists for that situation.įor me, I'm the one making and sending out documents.

Your only alternative is to then move to Linux and either VM Windows for Office, use Office online, or see if it works with Wine. Until that changes, you will not be using Libre. Its much like Gimp VS Photoshop where if you do graphic design for work, no one expects you to use anything other than Photoshop. More importantly, you will never get away from Office until everyone you deal with abandons it. Perhaps, because its not Office, I doubt it will 100% do everything. They just need office and work with files other people send as docx, pptx etcI'm confused because I have used Libre Office to work with docx and even save as docx. Its blocking my family to moving to Linux actually.

There's not a slight chance it can compete with ms word or power point, lack of features, templates and even this decade's appearance. Its sad but I wish Libre got the resources it requires to make it competitive.
