Hello Mortar!

True.

You can get legal one-shot Office keys for cheap at gamers-outlet.net. Office
2024 Pro Plus is $33.36. Office 2021 Pro Plus is $7.23.
I have never, ever paid full price for Office professionally or personally.
LO has choked on damn near every Word doc I have given it so I dumped it years
ago. OpenOffice, for me, was more compatible than LO. Then I discovered
OPENOFFICE. But 9 times out of 10, I run Word docs through a .docx to
markdown converter to read if it's for my use only.
