![]() I have used wps office - they have joined the rest of the bandwagon of charging a monthly fee. For e-mail I used Outlook365 settings in Evolution - no issues at all - plus I got warning sound when I got mail - not available in Outlook365. I found that my Workflow with TextMaker was much more productive than using Word. And I did the MS Office Professional course and passed in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint but sadly didn't get the MS Access element so glad to say I can't call myself a Microsoft Office Professional! The colour schemes in Office are absolutely awful. The only negative for me in SoftMaker was lack of image compression (which I achieved in LibreOffice) and font spacing was in % and not points - easily worked around by creating font spacing in points in LibreOffice, copy and paste into TextMaker and see what the % is. I love the way that lines is a separate item in the Ribbon compared to M$ offering. I used MS Office 2010, 20 and Office 365 - and I love SoftMaker over Microsoft anyday - In Word for example you can only cut a table - in TextMaker 2021 I can delete a table! Also any imported Text into a table from Okular drops to default font of Basic Roman - easily remedied because when I opened any new Text Maker document I set the default font, so to make the imported table default font, all I had to do was highlight all the cells, press Ctrl+ space and got the default document font settings. ![]() I beg to differ, I have used MS Office since 95, 97, 2000, 2002 (XP), 2003 - things went downhill from there when 2007 came out with their badly designed Ribbon. Also SoftMaker Office is much easier on the eye. It was the best match when submitting documents, spreadsheets and presentations to work colleagues using Microsoft Office 2019/365. Also I found SoftMaker Office has a much better workflow than Microsoft Office, but it does not include email client, just TextMaker (text processor), PlanMaker (spreadsheet), Presentations (PowerPoint-like application). Virtual Machine Manager has a much better graphics capability than VirtualBox or PlayOnLinux and also supports USB 3.0 better than Virtual Box - whilst USB 3.0 is listed as an option for hardware in Virtual Box it does not work - no such issue with Virtual Machine Manager. ![]() Your best solution with least heartache is to install Virtual Machine Manager and then install Windows as a VM - you will then be able to install your version of Office. During Lockdown, I only needed Microsoft Office in respect of Outlook due to a shared mailbox issue, and BrailleBlaster Translation software as latter would not run on Devuan.
