Microsoft office is still their best product but many words apps such as only office are becoming comparable. Microsoft Access and excels cross compatibility with other office apps is unmatched
They don’t even need to be comparable. Majority of people just need the basics or what Office 2013 had to offer. Now Office does too much and now copilot… if anything it’s getting worse now.

Yup. I haven’t bought any new Office keys since like 2020, and I never will. Keep the CoPilot away from my thoughts, geesh. I feel like a schizo when I use them.
I’m on Mac Office Business 2019. I just found out that blocking Microsoft traffic on my firewall, stops the ability to save doc as PDF. I installed Collabora Office on OpenCloud.
