Office suites

Use Softmaker Freeoffice https://www.freeoffice.com/en/

I handles word docs no sweat.

What I would suggest is that you save it out as a Word .DOC file on Win 7 which will clear out all the crap the .DOCX format adds.

You should see the file size drop as a bonus. Open on LL to check you've not lost any formatting. Freeoffice will open but not save in .DOC it saves as .DOCX

I have swapped large nested table word docs with Office 2103 users via Softmaker Office no problem.

Thanks! I ll try that; any recommendation on how to install it on LL ? i download the .deb and just double click?? (my computer is 64 bits). Should i set up automatic updates as explained here or rather not?

Update: i downloaded it and got a message "this type of file can harm your computer etc."
Was that from Chromium or from LL? Frankly if it is LL, it sounds realllllllyyyyyyyy Microfaustian.
Maybe when double-clicking on it to install it would make sense, but just downloading it?
