Libreoffice

Does anyone use Libreoffice? If anyone has experience using this program, I would love to hear about it. I’m curious about it and don’t know if it would have compatibility issues with the files we typically share in our line of work (ex, word,pdf, email confirmations, etc.). Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help.

LibreOffice is an excellent free Open Source program which I used for over a year. I used Excel a lot for my other business with few formatting incompatibilities when I would open an Excel file with Libre calc. Never had an issue with my Notary work. Having said that, I recently purchased a new PC and did purchase Office 2013 for the ease of being able to use it with both my ventures if needing to use advanced functions quickly. The Libre office community is great at answering questions on how to do certain functions, etc. Also, LibreOffice has recently been updated, but I have not tried 4.1 yet
