[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1806024, member: 46727"] I second the recommendation for Softmaker Office. I initially was interested in using it a while back and downloaded their trial version which is fully functional. I was rather surprised how close it was in appearance and function to MS Office. I put it thru its paces and was pleased with the results. The software is compact and not bloated like Office 2016 or 2019. It was able to open and correctly display all my docx and doc files without difficulty. The program is designed to create and edit documents in Word format by default. There are some things about it though that you need to be aware of: You may have to rework your Office templates if you use them. I also noticed that some Apple fonts were not being used by the program as it uses a separate set of fonts. You may have to add fonts. I did not test the Softmaker Office spreadsheet program nor its equivalent of Powerpoint. I mostly downloaded it to try out the Word equivalent. The stand alone single license version of Softmaker Office for the Mac is $69.95 (I believe). [/QUOTE]
