Office 2016 is here, with a new higher price
and MS pushing everyone toward Office 365 rental software.

I just ran across (again) LibreOffice which is an offshoot of OpenOffice.
It appears to handle Docx files (and probably other things) much better than open office ...worth a look if you are exploring options. https://www.libreoffice.org/ |

LibreOffice apparently can't handle some of the advanced MS-specific ("DOCX") modifications from OOXML Strict (which strictly speaking doesn't actually exist) but it does a fairly good job with most of what people are likely to throw at it.
The developers put lots of work into reverse-engineering DOCX. OpenOffice on the other hand, is just an old, old version of LibreOffice from before the famous schism: https://www.reddit.com/r/software/co...s_libreoffice/ |
