What are /r/MicrosoftWord's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

You could try LibreOffice. It was based on OpenOffice but is far more actively developed (OpenOffice's last major release was in 2014), and has hugely improved MS Office compatibility. Just a tip :-)

I know this is an old post, but it showed up first on google when I had the same issue and needed help.

The solution I (and my roommate in IT) found:
Downloading the Libre Office as it says that format was accepted.(https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/)

And then doing some minor changes to my formatting to have it close to my original file, but in a standard Arial Font.

It's a total pain in the yeah, and from this whole process- I can't help but think that is by design/ totally on purpose so you get frustrated and give up/ don't get your benefits.

Anyway, good luck out there homies!

I'm in school for my CDL license on a Federally paid $5k grant (WIOC).

I hope no one calls me and ruins my super sweet $93 a week I'm entitled to (and very much need), and totally lose if I turn down a job.

I totally missed the Mac part; I apologize. That being said, I did a quick google search and found this link which may or may not be helpful to you: http://osxdaily.com/2017/10/24/set-apps-prefer-tabs-mac/

The site says it's not secure, but it is kosher.

It is an easier way of setting up 'autocorrects' but basically macros as you type rather than having to 'record' them in Word. I can't work without it!

Have a look/play but happy to explain how I use it further if you like it. I spend my day typing up documents so I've loads of short cuts on it.

:-(

Seems unfair they have changed it.

Another option is to use Breevy. Have a look and see if doing an 'if this is typed put it to this'. There's some other magic in there too, so it could be that if you insert a citation, you can get it to input it with () rather than [].

Hello fellow dissertator! I have never been able to get Word's auto referencing feature to work properly. I use the referencing add-on Zotero for writing papers (including my diss), which stores bibliographical information and re-orders the footnotes / endnotes consistently. You can pay for cloud storage if you like to save copies of the papers you're referencing, but I've never bothered and it works beautifully. (At ~104,000 words and something like 2.5 k endnotes right now!)

I will recommend you to use mail merge tool as it will be more convenient to you and your problems like saving and all will be resolved for more info you can read this article on mail merge tools https://vocus.io/blog/best-mail-merge-gmail/#

I think what you really need is this:

The only issue is that is a different program but is not difficult to grasp the basics and make a nice diagram, it allows you to do pretty much anything you want (diagram related).

There are many open source alternatives. Libre office. Apache Open Office But the best one is.

Free Office

Or u can use Google Docs for remote support (u may need internet to update/ access everytime)
