For the past decade or so I’ve mostly had a windows rig for gaming, and a dual boot laptop for travel/work (windows for Microsoft Access/PowerPoint, Ubuntu for everything else).
An odd issue I ran across was drive data format; it caused unending issues with steam/lutris when installing games running under wine/proton to drives formatted for windows (they’d just not run, no error messages till one day I tried to force it via terminal and got an error I could search via Google).
In the end I just partitioned off the drive to a native Linux format and that fixed it (had to dump the contents of the drive to a portable which took a while!), but now I am wondering if there was another alternate workaround?
@ragepaw @HexesofVexes I have noticed some formatting and sizing differences, do you usually create in OpenOffice and pass to word users or the other way around? Which format do you use to interop? I’d love my coworkers to ditch MS Word.
OnlyOffice, not Open Office. OnlyOffice strives for Office compatibility.
No issues yet whether I create docs, or other users do.
If you are talking about OpenOffice, that’s different. The other user suggested OnlyOffice, so try that and see if the formatting issues are there too.
