abarbarian Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 https://www.linuxinsider.com/story/85018.html?survey_id=152&opt_id=854 SoftMaker offers a complete line of free and paid office suite products that run on Android devices, Linux distros, and Windows or macOS PCs. The article is well worth a looksee. Quote
zlim Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 I think you'd do better with LibreOffice. I use it in Windows. It does have versions for linux and android. Though my Samsung android tablet came with Word and Excel and that's all my husband uses so I don't need to install an Office Suite. 2 Quote
Pete! Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 I think you'd do better with LibreOffice. I use it in Windows. It does have versions for linux and android.

I agree...It really depends on your needs, but to me, LibreOffice is more than adequate. IF you use an email client, Mozilla Thunderbird has a nice Appointment Calendar, and Task Scheduler. It may not have all the functions of "Outlook", but it's more than I need (a little while ago, it "beeped" and gave me a reminder about an appointment I have in two hours,) Quote
securitybreach Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Libreoffice is the way to go. I have never heard of that office suite before. 1 Quote
zlim Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 I tried Softmaker (Windows computer) then they kept sending me emails. They want to move you up to a paid version. Quote
ebrke Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 I'd also recommend LibreOffice. Have used it for years on both Linux and Windows systems and have always been satisfied. Quote
abarbarian Posted January 26, 2018 Author Posted January 26, 2018 Personally I have used LibreOffice since it first came out in 2011. I only use the program a couple of times a year on average. Quote
sunrat Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Personally I have used LibreOffice since it first came out in 2011. I only use the program a couple of times a year on average. Same here. Usually I am sent PDF or uploads to my Google Docs, but a couple of times a year someone sends a .docx. Quote
