MODERATORS
People use what they know. Are there better (free) alternatives?
Yes. LibreOffice is better in every way.
And don't reply with "but it has problems opening Word files". That's cause the Word format doesn't follow any standards. Nothing but Word can correctly open Word files (and even that only works well if they were made with the same version of Word).
Hmm, I'll check it out, but my field passes around Word files quite often. Might be a tough sale if the user can't find a workaround. Still, can't be mad at free software.
