    ToC via Styles formatting and Table of authorities - these are from the top of my head, which I remember not working properly with Open Office. They need to work when I do them and also should be displayed correctly when I receive them from colleagues in docx format.

    Format painter, track changes, spell checker in two languages, intendation adjustments, page breaks, and paste as text - I use these like crazy but I don’t remember if they were OK in Open Office or not.

    Can I use MS Office natively with that? Also, can I use it as a non-techie lay man in a way that is similar to the way most office bottom-feeders use Windows?

    I know there is Open Office but I am lawyer and the free office alternatives just don’t have the rich formatting options I need to do my job. I have tried and they just won’t do.










  • That’s a problem. I used to get news almost immediately from Reddit. Now I am a bit stuck on that front and so far there is no reasonable alternative.

    For example, I like to follow chess news. I stumbled upon a piece of news on the wider internet that Hans Nieman and Magnus Carlsen had resolved their dispute. It wasn’t very much reported on, so I checked old.reddit/r/chess to see what’s going on. The first detailed thread on the matter had been opened and active, like, 5 minutes after the announcement.

    At this point, nothing on the internet can compete with this.

    It is kind of the same with world news and Ukraine war coverage.

    So, yeah. After getting off of Reddit, I have lost the ability to be quickly informed about news. Mastodon is not much help and I don’t want to fuel Elon Twitter’s BS, so I am stuck.
