Microsoft jolts awake, remembers it still makes Office for Mac

LibreOffice

I use LibreOffice on a Mac. It is good. It will even open Visio drawings, which is nice.

But my daughter also uses LibreOffice and trying to round trip documents -- author them on LibreOffice/Mac, edit them at school on Word/Windows, edit them again at home on LibreOffice/Mac -- fails too often to make for happy users. There's only so many times you're willing to go and fix formatting details.

So I'd strongly recommend LibreOffice/Mac if you are able to share the document as an unrevisable PDF. If you need to edit the thing then either use LibreOffice or Word at both ends.
