"5. Do NOT use Microsoft Office unless you can do so without running macros, and block users from re-enable macros. Actually, it may be easier to switch to LibreOffice instead, just to give the Microsoft marketing people on this forum something to downvote :)."
Sigh. There are simply some things (yes, including macros) which MS Office does better than Libre Office. Indeed, there are some things that MS Office does which Libre Office either doesn't do at all or makes a dog's breakfast out of it. Libre Office will work for a lot of people. It won't work for a quite significant number of people.
Blocking macros can have its problems, too, as there are those who simply must run macros as part of their jobs. Once again, a large number of people don't need macros, but those who need them, need them badly.
I have tried all of the alternatives for MS Office. (Libre Office. Open Office. Word Perfect Office. Symphony. iWork. Even Microsoft Works and AppleWorks, which showed true desperation. Others.) I always ended up going back to MS Office because there was something which none of the competition could do and which I needed. I might only need it once in months, but when I needed it, I needed it badly and immediately, and getting the supporting work out of whatever format the competition used and into a format that MS Office could access without mangling the file too badly was more work than just using MS Office and taking precautions while doing so was. (Have you seen the mess that results when you take a 100+ page report saved in the native formats for Open Office, or, worse, Pages, and tried to pour it into Word 2010? Yes, Open Office and Pages will 'export' the file to something they claim is .DOC format, but Very Strange Stuff Happens(tm) to anything remotely complex, such as a table. And a 100+ page report is going to have a lot more than just one table.)
