They are desperate for money just when I thought MS Office 2003 worked fine for me they just happen to upgrade each time and now its subscription based. Schools always try to have me use the latest version, but some how I get away using old version of MS Word. Now I can keep up with features thanks to Libreoffice/OpenOffice.

Have you try LibreOffice? 

I've been using it since forever(when it used to be OpenOffice). Works great.

The other day I was talking with someone and they mentioned that to use MS Office you now have to pay a monthly fee. That just sounds insane to me. I've been so long using Open Source that it surprised me how normal people operate in the world.
