Although probably not popular with the masses, Latex and GNU Octave are pretty awesome.
Latex is a powerful program that allows you to write professional looking reports, books, whatever. It is infinitely better than Open Office, Microsoft Word (PC or MAC version), or Pages (what a joke!). It has a steep learning curve, admittedly. It's completely free and cross compatible between mac-pc-linux. This makes it an amazing program for a student in a technical program, like I was.
Along that same thought, Octave is somewhat like MATLAB - it allows you to write programs to do... math. Again, it's great if you're a student. I used it at one of my jobs to perform simulations as well. There's a learning curve, but there's a learning curve for any type of programming!
Our institution provides the browser-based version of Microsoft Office to all students. And I tell my students that if they don't like that version (it lacks some of the capabilities of the regular software, especially Excel), there is Open Office, a freeware (and completely legal) version they can use.
Try out Google Docs. http://docs.google.com
You can upload Microsoft formats and edit them online.
Another alternative is to download OpenOffice. It is an open source clone, but that comes with some downsides. Occasionally when moving between openoffice and Microsoft office there will be formatting problems.
Forget excel, check out OpenOffice. Its free, you can donate, it has Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Paint, all the things for FREE legally. If you use it and you like it please consider a donation. It can open all M$ files too.
> but how is the law on downloading software products via direct download sites?
Just the same.
> Or how does one secure copies of software e.g. word processing etc in Germany without having to shell out so much money?
Use free software such as LibreOffice or OpenOffice.
De sitene er vel kjent for å ha mange stjålne keys/keys som er kjøpt for videresalg med stjålne kredittkort.
Om du ikke trenger spesifikke funksjoner i Word, kan du kanskje prøve ~~https://www.openoffice.org/no/~~ https://no.libreoffice.org/
Edit: Endret link til den beste forken.
If you'd rather input your info manually, have you ever considered excel? You could also use openoffice's calc, which is similar to excel, yet free.
Check out these free excel budget sheets, maybe they suit your need.
It's it was saved on onedrive, it saves versions so you may be able to go back to a previous saved file. You might lose a bit of work depending how old the version is.
This might help: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/restore-a-previous-version-of-a-file-in-onedrive-159cad6d-d76e-4981-88ef-de6e96c93893
You can also try downloading Open office and opening the file in that to see if anything comes up.
I would quickly stop using Wordpad to write in. There are lots of free document writing programs that are a thousand times better and don't have the weird bugs Wordpad does.
I couldn't understand that either. Office for Mac 2016 is compatible with OS X 10.10.x for sure. I just checked Open Office out of curiosity and it says 10.10. (Yosemite) quite clearly:
- Resume: /r/Resume or /r/Resumes
- Research: www.google.com
- Cover Letter: www.google.com
- Writing tool: Microsoft Word or Open Office or Google Docs
You're basically paying for career advice, which is always a good idea, but rarely worth $2200. A local college campus can do the same for free. Glassdoor can give you sallary ranges. USNews can give education advice. The information is all out there already, it just requires a little legwork. Besides, learning the hows of cover levers and company research, as well as the whys of tailoring your resume, will be vital the next time you job hunt.
Now that said I've never used a career development company so I don't know if they offer other alternative benefits that make up the cost difference. I just know many of the services you listed aren't nearly as difficult as they sound, and are important skills to learn (and not just outsource) anyway.
If you can knock this out in a weekend (16 hours) then you're paying $132/hour. Only you know what your time is worth, but I'm going to guess unless you're an underwater welder or senior petroleum engineer, you aren't making that kind of money.
Wenn OpenOffice aus anderen Quellen als der Offiziellen bezogen wird, sind gerne mal Spy und Adware mit beigelegt. Da können dann die OO-Entwickker auch nichts für.
Jetzt, da das Kind in den Brunnen gefallen ist würde ich empfehlen erstmal die komprommitierte OO-Version zu deinstallieren, diese kann man dann durch die offizielle Distribution oder gleich LibreOffice ersetzen. Dansch würde ich auf jeden Fall noch AdwCleaner drüber laufen lassen und mit einem sauberen Browserprofil weitermachen, wenn ich der Browserinstallation generell nich vertrauen würde.
Agree. "Microsoft office specialist" would be laughable to read on a resume these days. MS office knowledge is implied.
If your partner has the resources and time to do so and absolutely wants to upgrade her job skills, then feel free, but as u/sync-centre says, they can achieve the same thing by spending a couple hours each night with office and youtube videos.
They can even use https://www.openoffice.org/ if you don't have a registered version at home.
Office just isn’t worth the cost to me. I have it on my work laptop but that’s it. Since I’m basically the resident nerd in my family I’ve switched everyone over to open office and nobody has complained. If my retired mother can figure it out most people should be fine. It even opens the Microsoft office version of files. There’s not a mobile version that I’m aware of but that’s fine with me. https://www.openoffice.org/
I don't know if you're studying finance, or any degree which requires a special Office progream (excel, etc.), but there's plenty of good alternatives to Microsoft Office for things like Powerpoint and Word.
Try OpenOffice: https://www.openoffice.org/ or LibreOffice: http://www.libreoffice.org/
There's also good websites to convert the formats to that of Microsoft Office, so that the same documents can be opened by professors. I have survived 4 years of college without shelling out for Microsoft Office.
there is an alternative to the microsoft products called "open office", which you can get for free.
https://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html
its not exactly the same as the microsoft stuff, but the files are compatible.
if you really want the MS stuff, you might be able to get it for free or discounted if you are a student. im not sure what promos they have going on right now, or through any school you might go to, or college you might go to.
I would recommend open office with the small caveat that you may need someone to help you set it up depending on your actual computer skills.
It's absolutely free, gets regular bug updates and will do if you just want a basic word processor. Failing that, google docs is free and can be saved to the cloud but I have to admit, I'm not a huge fan of google docs due to a couple of bugs (mainly they seem to struggle with longer works)
Office online is free: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/office-online/ndjpnladcallmjemlbaebfadecfhkepb?hl=en Google sheets is free: https://www.google.ca/sheets/about/ OpenOffice is free: https://www.openoffice.org/ All 3 of these should meet your needs.
Alternatively if you have recently been a university student you should be able to get MS office for $10. Some employers also have the $10 MS office program
I just use Word (specifically, I have Office 365 University since it's such a good deal. You should check it out if you are a student!). If you don't want to pay for it, you could use something like OpenOffice perhaps?
That was pretty great. It's a shame about the other 8000 words.
I used to write large comments directly onto Reddit, but lost way too many words to random reloads or mixups (Nothing like a full short story though), so I switched to using Open Office's Writer instead. Much nicer editing, and autosaves are great.
It's ironic that the comments also end up misunderstanding the point of the video. Micro$oft fanboys of course will defend this.
Kurdistan Region is an official region in Iraq, it's literally called Kurdistan in the constitution. Of course Kurdistan also refers to the entire Kurdistan, not just the Iraq part. I would also find it annoying to have to see that error remark when writing, of course if I still used their crappy word document software. Word is dead, I suggest people use alternatives like OpenOffice. It's free and you don't need to go "crack" their software.
Google docs man, you don't need excel to make a spreadsheet. Or download openoffice. They both are as easy to use for basic data entry, just don't ask me how to do formulas in either. It's probably exactly the same as office 2003.
I know someone here posted a sleep log, but it was only for two weeks if I recall.
https://www.openoffice.org/pt-br/ - De graça
https://pt-br.libreoffice.org - De graça
é literalmente infinitamente mais barato
I guess you can use OpenOffice. It may cause some problems with macros (which I see this file has), but it's worth trying IMO.
1- Try opening Bru'n water in Open Office. It's an open source office suite that is compatible with the Windows Office. I have Excel, so I've never tried it; theoretically it should work.
2- Not sure, you should be able to fit most things into the light/amber/dark, malty/bitter/balanced category.
3- Because you touch yourself at night.
Has someone told you about OpenOffice ?Works just like Office, but saves as a .odt file. Most profs can deal with that, but you can also get a program called Pages that will allow you to save as a .doc file (which is what a Word doc saves as). I've done all of my MLIS degree on Mac and it has been no problem.
> Cool thanks, right so it's not Windows itself that I was reading about subscriptions but Office.
Have a look at Apache Open Office as a free substitute for MS Office.
I didn't have a spreasheet (OpenOffice) installed, until I started playing EVE.
I still use OpenOffice (no particular need to move to the LibreOffice fork), and Google Sheets, though the latter has a bunch of quirks that can be annoying.
You can download Open Office, LibreOffice, or FreeOffice for free, and they are decent word processors.
Check out Open Office: https://www.openoffice.org/. I used this in college and it is an open source version of all the basic Office programs. Also honestly, Google Docs is a perfectly good word processing software that is completely free if you have a google account. It makes it really easy to share documents and has all the spelling and grammar functionality of Microsoft Office.
Avast Antivirus. Not only is it free, but it's the best antivirus software I've ever used -- it doesn't slow down your computer like Norton and McAfee do.
Malwarebytes is a good one if you suspect your computer's already infected with something (as opposed to Avast above which is mostly preventative).
OpenOffice. It's a little harder to use in a Microsoft-domintated world, but if you're even mildly computer literate, it's not that hard to figure out.
This isn't what you've asked for, but I thought I'd give you a head's up.
There's this really good free alternative to Microsoft Office called OpenOffice. It's Microsoft Office but for free.
Now, you can save any document prepared in OpenOffice as a MS Word document. By default, it saves documents as .doc or .docx, one of those. Even then, the saved document can be opened by MS Word with no problem.
An app called "Tip See" seems to be quite popular in the App Store. I've never used it. Maybe someone who has can offer more insight.
Personally, I use Open Office from Apache at home. They have a great spreadsheet that's every bit as functional as Excel. Take notes at the end of your shifts about your time on the clock, what you earned, etc, and let the spreadsheet do the heavy lifting after you plug in the raw data. And it's completely free.
why not just use office online? Its free, and there are apps for tablets and smart phones. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/compare-microsoft-office-products-FX104165233.aspx
Open Office is a good alternative, though its not in the windows store https://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html
Might not be exactly what you're looking for, but Apache OpenOffice (basically a free and amazing Microsoft Word) has a button to turn your document into a .pdf: Personally it's come in very handy in the past when I needed a .pdf of my resume. You can write out your planning guide as you like with all the fonts, colors, formatting, tables, lists etc. you want and then just Export to PDF and you've got a shiny new .pdf file ready to go.
OpenOffice is pretty close to MS Office.
Check it out.
I used it and libre office for awhile and I liked open office much better.
Edit: I haven't used OO for awhile. Please take my reply with a huge grain of salt. I've been reading a lot of replies.
I'm in the same boat as all of you. I had a working version of Living Cookbook 2015 and had to format my computer. Once I reinstalled I was no longer able to activate. There's an option to manually activate but it requires an unlock key that is supposed to have been acquired from the living cookbook website. If anyone has an unlock key and wants to share it I'd really like to try it. Or any other suggestions to get it open.
Just FYI for everyone else - the LCB file is just a zip file. If you rename the extension to .zip you'll be able to unzip it. Once unzipped you can go to \ProgramData\Radium Technologies\Living Cookbook\5.0\Database to find a Microsoft Database file. You can download OpenOffice to view it if you don't have MS Access. It looks like the table "t_recipe" holds all the recipe names along with some other fields like the source website. Within that table the "recipeid" column seems to correspond to other tables that have ingredient lists, procedures, etc. So if someone really wanted to they could manually extract data. I'm sure someone that really knows what they're doing could automate something.
Do you just want to edit/access the file or do you want Word 2010 to open it specifically?
If just the file you could try opening it with OpenOfficehttps://www.openoffice.org/ or even with a trial of modern office (google Office 365 trial).
Let me introduce you to Open Office. It doesn't suck, isn't weird, you don't have to pirate/torrent it, nor is it some weird ass independent program that is in some of the internet. Also - it's free.
Last I tried it for anything significant, it choked on documents after a certain length. I've also not used it for tables or pictures.
Have you looked into alternatives like Open Office?
I use Scrivener for my writing, these days.
Best free alternative to:
Microsoft Office - OpenOffice
Adobe Photoshop - Gimp (alternate version called gimpshop has a user interface similar to photoshop)
3DS Max or Maya - Blender
If you must use OO then at least be safe and follow the workaround at https://www.openoffice.org/security/cves/CVE-2015-1774.html (Note that just avoiding .hwp files is not enough, as a trojaned hwp will still open with a .odf extension). Was fixed in LO in 4.3.7 and 4.4.2.
I think I can help!
Open Office Draw is a fantastic free program that my dnd group uses. Here is an example of what this program can do with the right resources.
Have you checked open office?
Edit: see this They have a phyton script to build the database from wordnet, which seems to be a big open source database about the English language
Instead of Photoshop, use GIMP Usually about two or three years behind in features, but still a very powerful alternative to the Adobe monster.
Instead of Office, use Open Office All the same documents you would find if office and can be used to open/make docs for MS Office.
Open Office has a free MS Word clone that might work well for you. I have used some version of Word via dropbox's web-editing option and I've found it sluggish. Google Docs is slightly less sluggish but I don't particularly care for Google's docs environment (personal preference). You might find it suits you well.
Does it have to be MS Word? Or does it just have to be a word processor of some sort?
Open Office is a free alternative to Microsoft Office, and it's more or less the same thing.
It would mean being able to get a Chromebook.
I use openoffice draw. It is free, but old school. I like it. My advice to you is learn all the little tricks. Like, press shift to select multiple items, then you can right click, select shapes then merge to make them one item. Also, you can go into preferences, then colors, then edit to make your own colors (make sure to click add or it won't be saved). I design all my quilts in draw. I don't ever finish them, but I design a lot.
Microsoft Excel would do it, but you have to pay if you don't already have it. Open Office's Calc is their version of Excel/spreadsheet software and is free and compatible: Open Office
Digikey has an online drawing tool called SchemeIt that I've used for quick schematics to be included in design reviews. Learning curve is nearly zero and the results are great. The one drawback is that it requires an account if you want to save anything.
Other times I've used OpenOffice's Draw application. It's basically open-source Visio.
Here's a link to the holster database maintained by CZ. Spreadsheet warning I guess?
http://cz-usa.com/hammer/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/HOLSTER-DATABASE.xlsx
If you don't have MSOffice installed you can use OpenOffice. It's free and open source.
Open office suite, its free and has all the same features of the Microsoft products with the additional bonus of having Mods available on their site to tailor the software to your needs. Open Office.
open office is another free option. I use it all the time instead of word, and it will save documents in the word format.
And I agree with everything SuziHemmings says, you should threaten to report her. She is obligated to feed you, and not doing it is abuse.
Also, you aren't going to fail!!! It's her illness talking and she is wrong. You are motivated to get a good grade and get into a decent university, that's not failure!
You want something like Word, but on the cheap? I'd have to go with OpenOffice or LibreOffice
Sound Lock is one I use every day that I would bet nobody in this thread knows about. It puts a cap on audio when it's turned on and will adjust volume to equalize spikes. This makes it so every video you watch is at a constant volume level. No more ridiculously loud ads/theme songs/startling noises.
It only has one function and it does it really well.
Open Office is also great if you don't care to pay for Microsoft's office suite.
I dunno if it's true for everywhere but in the UK you can get Microsoft word as part of the office 365 plan paying 5.99 a month.
Free alternative would probably be open office https://www.openoffice.org/
As a noob database user, even I know that there is an autonumber feature in many databases.
Microsoft Access - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/add-an-autonumber-field-as-a-primary-key-96ba683b-7f86-4354-aa25-3849f5e5b641
MySQL - https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/example-auto-increment.html
OpenOffice Base - They're trying to figure it out, but silly noob users want this spreadsheet feature: https://www.openoffice.org/dba/specifications/AutoIncrementValues.html
But that's all besides the point. The real question is - Why doesn't Notion have an auto number/increment feature? It already creates a random unique ID, why not give the option of having incremental numbers?
There was an older conversation here that's similar… https://old.reddit.com/r/German/comments/vnbpcm/online_check_for_german_grammar/
I don't know how useful those sites are though. I was thinking maybe try going offline, like with an office program that checks German grammar. Is your system language set to German? That might help a little.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1226362
I looked to see if Open Office supported German for Grammar Checking… https://www.openoffice.org/lingucomponent/grammar.html …it mentions German, but I don't know if that works though. I haven't tried it. 🤷🏻♂️
Heh, thanks for noticing!
MS has done a lot of work trying to make the Office suite interact, with Outlook opening Excel, with cells being able to invoke macros in Word, etc. Many recent malware exploits use these kinds of MS Office features as one or more levers to infiltrate your computing stack. It's gone totally over the top, and IMNSHO I no longer allow it on my home machines.
If you simply want to be able to work on spread sheets, formatted documents, PowerPoint documents, etc., I recommend Apache OpenOffice.
Little known fact: when the State of Maryland opened bidding for an enterprise license for the government, they stipulated that if your app created any format NOT supported by OpenOffice, it would be disqualified. I believe Germany went the same route.
OpenOffice has free, open-source versions of pretty much any word processor, including spreadsheets. That's what I use. A spreadsheet is basically graph paper, and then you use the 'fill' function to add colors per unit. It does come out rather big on your screen, but if you're willing to scroll, it works wonders. Here's a download link.
>(not a legitimate copy)
You could try uninstalling Word completely and reinstalling it to see if that helps. If not, get a legit copy. If you don't want to pay, get Open Office or use Google Docs. Both are free and compatible with .doc/.docx files.
Nobody is here to spoon feed you.
The two links below are literally all you need. One has congressional voting records, the other has a free spreadsheet program that you can dump things into.
That sucks man I feel for ya. It happens and I have no doubt in my mind you will bounce back from this and grow your stack once again!
For future reference, check out OpenOffice (free) or you can buy cheap keys for Office from sites like g2a.com
If you absolutely need to run Windows versions install Virtualbox or VMWare and run a Windows VM.
Make sure you get the official Open Office if you go that route. Some attackers recently have been using Google ads to direct traffic to a knock-off site that downloads malware. Official link: https://www.openoffice.org/ (but feel free to go search for yourself if you don't believe me).
I know how you can do this, but you have to go outside of the app.
First, download VeraCrypt, create a small encrypted volume, and open it. I know, this is not strictly necessary, but I would be irresponsible not to include this step.
Next, open the Bitwarden desktop app and "export" your vault, in CSV format. (I don't normally tell people to use CSV format, but this is one time it is a life saver.) Be sure to create the file in your VeraCrypt volume; you NEVER want an unencrypted view of your vault to land on your hard disk.
What you do next is open the CSV with a spreadsheet program. If you don't have one, Apache OpenOffice is completely sufficient here.
Inside of your spreadsheet you can quickly find your weak passwords. You could even sort by the password column to find all of your duplicates.
This CSV file is a dead end, and you should probably get rid of it after you are done. But you can use it as a list of sites you need do change, deleting rows in the spreadsheet when no further action is required for the given site.

I use open office with no issues when I need excel.
Most places I've worked at (all WFH the past few years) are using Google documents in place of MS office suite the majority of the time now.
It's easier to keep information updated and flowing when you can't be in an office together.
If you want a product that won’t track and data scrape the living shit out if you (AKA Google), Check out Open Office, it’s basically MS Office, but open source and free.
Explanation of it all here: https://www.openoffice.org/why/index.html
It’s actually $70/yr for a single user and that comes with 1TB of cloud storage. That’s cheaper than dropbox and more value than icloud.
That said, your needs probably vary with your business. If you are not a heavy user of excel, you might get away with google or just Apple numbers. You could also try the free open source office: https://www.openoffice.org/. I believe it is compatible with excel files.
Is the web version of Excel ok? If so, all you need is an E1- that will give you the Office Suite via a browser (which is surprisingly good), Outlook and mailbox- but no archive mailboxes, SharePoint, and Teams-no discovery tools, etc.
Don't forget- there is Open Office, the open-source version of Office. It's certainly not the same- but it's really close in all things that 80% of the users care about.
https://www.openoffice.org/product/index.html
Also, I will say this about the E3- Microsoft announced I think yesterday that they will be including their Defender security suite with Microsoft Licenses. I have no idea what all the details around that is and when it's going to happen- BUT if it comes with an E3 license, you might justify the additional cost by removing the cost of your current AntiVirus Suite. Just a thought- I always try to justify purchasing something by removing something- it may not be completely offset but if it's somewhat offset my company usually says let's go for it.
Just to be clear, you followed this advice and no dice?
Did you try to open the original file using OpenOffice or the altered file?
I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm trying to understand where you're at
Open office is an alternative option, with free versions of Word / Excel etc. I run my own portfolio records / management via the Open Office Calc.
Link - https://www.openoffice.org
Edit to add link.
Virtually all the OpenOffice developers left for LibreOffice (a fork of OpenOffice) many years ago.
OpenOffice is pretty much a zombie project at this point. It's virtually dead but it keeps getting releases -- maybe with some improvements from the LibreOffice project.
LibreOffice is better. And it is installed by default on Pop OS!
But if for some reason you really want OpenOffice, then yes, I would get it from https://www.openoffice.org/download/ (choose "download full installation"). It's a bunch of .deb files that you'd need to install. Or maybe you could try https://apprepo.de/appimage/openoffice (but this is an unofficial build that you'd run at your own risk; who knows what it contains.)
But again, LibreOffice (which is based on OpenOffice) is better.
https://www.openoffice.org/qa/ooQAReloaded/ooQA-ReportBugs.html
Looks like registration is currently manual. You could try emailing the address on the registration page or posting in the forum:
Alors je connais pas du tout VBA ni trop la librairie en question, mais d'après cette doc ça à l'air de ressemble à juste des infos sur une feuille. Ca a clairement pas l'air d'être prévu en tout cas d'utiliser le nom, et je pense que ça doit utiliser l'ordre des feuilles dans la liste de celles si contenu dans la classe qui gère le fichier tout entier.
There's more detailed explanations there. Basically you want to check the GPG signature of your downloaded file against the associated asc file (look under the green button of the file you downloaded on suite.trezor.io).
You do understand that LibreOffice already exists, right?
https://www.libreoffice.org/discover/libreoffice/
And OpenOffice is viable too:

> Apache OpenOffice: Discontinued, let's not mention it at all.
Apache OpenOffice has not been discontinued. Version 4.1.8 was released in November and works great. All I need from these office suites is MS Office compatibility, and I've had much better success with OpenOffice than LibreOffice in that regard. Word and Excel documents from work that LO either can't open at all or displays horribly work just fine in OpenOffice. LO also seems pretty buggy in general. I'll stick with OpenOffice.
Open Office freeware office suite.
Awesome free software, opens ancient docs and loads of formats and allows saving in loads of formats.
I recently used it to help my mum transfer ancient Word.doc files into the newest Word.doc files since Word would not open the ancient files for some (microsoft... hmmmm...) reason.
Here is your open source alternative.
https://www.openoffice.org/why/index.html
It's free like Firefox and works very similar to MS products and will run what work you've already completed. So it will run a PPT or word doc.
r/theworsttypo if I was to provide a free word processor [yes linked is one] and an email address , then encourage a word count of 3000-5800 range addressing the issue not as an open letter but a written submission as an .odt or .rft my cousin and a classmate are giving jobseekers a concentrated vehicle to voice what is going on in Covid-19. You have those who stress r/resume when those had toyed with long form journalism [I am inviting those here to come into the fold.]
You could try looking for it in something like OpenOffice (I'm pretty sure they're online for people that use them) https://www.openoffice.org/
If you go to the 'about" in the "terms of use" if you don't have the terms of use, look up for it. You'll see the error and click 'error' and see what it says (the whole thing will say the exact same thing).
The situation with OpenOffice is probably even worse than most people here realise. Given the lack of maintenance, they shouldn't even be offering downloads (or only offering downloads clearly labelled as alpha quality). They have shipped builds with known security issues more than once, due to nobody being available to fix them!
The homepage of a project in this state should be a developer recruitment page, not an advert to users. The phrase "Apache OpenOffice is the leading open-source office software suite for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, databases and more" is, at this point, objectively untrue as well as dangerous.
Okay the thing I noticed is with the jobseeker hashtag you have those who are freelancers who been so since their twenties. I have to ask, those provided the free word processor why would one put so much emphasis on resume writing when it is a waste of a good word processor?
I love Gimp. It's Photoshop for free.
This one is more of a organization tool but there isn't anything better in my opinion especially for story based games. Concept maps or web maps are super easy to use but can be used for characters, nation's, guns, swords, anything that needs a history.
If you're like me and too cheap to buy Microsoft office 365 you can get Open Office all the same stuff for free.
This job "thing" or better said construct is there to keep us normal adults enough busy to ignore more important stuff. Untill we on individual scale are only complaining to others, job slavery is here to stay. Why dont we create a antiwork sub, where we share free tools and help, to our anti work fellows. We are not interesting to the herd, you don't see them around here much.
So in that sense I am providing a link as I found it on Goolge. It's an alternative to Office, and it's free: https://www.openoffice.org/
I provided it not to provide more work, but to prevent payments for the same product elsewhere. Every dollar you keep, makes your freedom plans more available.
Knowledge is power, and if it's directed to freedom from work it can be liberating.
There are two evolutions of the old StarOffice:
(I haven't used either of them in years, so no idea about MS Office parity in the age of Microsoft365.)
Microsoft has been pushing the monthly/yearly license hard. You are going to need to renew monthly/yearly if you want to keep functionality.
Take a look at this as an alternative:

hey u/ElCorazonMC, just wondering if you have come across Base..? Open Office has a sort of MS Access equivalent - https://www.openoffice.org/product/base.html - tell me how you get on.

Yes, it's Apache now. Yes, it's still open source.
Would you prefer it to still be in the hands of Oracle?
Microsoft includes a free trial of MS office with laptops or desktops and after that trial, you either have to buy the suite of applications or have to sign in via a Microsoft account if you already have a subscription. Please be aware that your college/university/high school email or website can likely get you access to the entire MS Office suite of applications for free. Otherwise, the Libre Office and Open Office application suites are both free to use and very suitable and capable replacements for the entire MS Office suite.
I use Open Office, a open source word processor (www.openoffice.org). It has a save option "save as HTML", that automatically convert your doc or odt (Open Office's document format) into an HTML document.
OpenOffice Writer may not be the greatest editor in the world, but if you don't have Word already, at least it's free.
If your font is installed in Windows it should pick it up and allow you to use it automatically.
Before you do anything else at least do a “select all” and then “copy” and “paste it into “Notepad” or somewhere else like that and “save” so at least the text will be saved if Word crashes out.
You can download “Open Office” for free and paste it there as well and print from there with formatting. https://www.openoffice.org/
The good thing about free software, is that you can simply try it, and then tell us :)
Possible quick workaround for the Office thing. Download one of these:

They are free alternatives to MS Office that can handle most office formats. I personally prefer them to MS Office.
As already said in the original post, there are many free alternative to Microsoft Office.
And the Google Docs, Sheets and Slides.
They are way free for everyone, without any hassle of proving student status.
They get support. They just don't get free support that is corpo-tasty.
There are many avenues by which to buy good support for just about anything, and open-source software is not an exception here.
Just because it is freely available doesn't mean that it is afraid of money.
Excel/similar spreadsheet programs usually come with powerful graphing features included. You can use OpenOffice Calc or Google Sheets (my personal favorite) for free.
