OnlyOffice is mentioned so rarely but it has an UI much more resembling the ribbon based MS Office and in my experience a good compatibility with docx and xlsx files. Don’t know what’s happening when confronted with macro-monsters though.
It seems to format documents differently though. That means it scrambled a few files for a co-worker I sent it to who uses MS Office. Stuff like that never happens with LibreOffice although I like the OpenOffice UI better.
Ah thanks for letting me know. Scrambled sounds dire. Spreadsheets or documents?
Thought the devs nailed it pretty good. At least I never saw differences in my not overly complicated letter layouts when I opened them in MS Office.
Though I had your use-case just with a few rather simple spreadsheets I got from colleagues for me to modify and send back, they never complained.
Anyways I’m glad I don’t have to do with office products very often but I’ll look into OpenOffice as well. Looks indeed very good. Like a streamlined and modern MS Office without ribbons.
