Alternatives to Microsoft Office Word for all platforms with Open Source License

LibreOffice - Writer

Writer has all the features you need from a modern, full-featured word processing or desktop publishing tool. It's simple enough for a quick memo, but powerful...
- It is better than Open Office. It could redraw the MS-Word-created diagrams which Open Office could not. Guest • May 2016 • 15 agrees and 4 disagrees
- LibreOffice can do 90%+ of what Microsoft Office can do, and it costs 100% less! Guest • Dec 2016 • 13 agrees and 5 disagrees
- If you do not need some very rare functions, LibreOffice Writer is better and totally libre alternative! KuboFHromoslav • May 2017 • 5 agrees and 0 disagrees
- It is absolutely free and handles .docx and .doc files better than the other alternatives provided. Additionally, it supports more features than other alternatives like Google Docs. Guest • Jun 2017 • 5 agrees and 0 disagrees
- It handles large documents better than word does. Guest • Mar 2017 • 9 agrees and 5 disagrees
- It's very easy to use, Small. I asked for a new feature. The team debugs fast. mohammadetemaddar • Nov 2016 • 5 agrees and 1 disagrees
- Tries to provide a lot of useful tools. Opened a piece of artwork for me that nothing else would. Has a thesaurus (very,very, useful). The builder(s) deserve compensation for providing it. Guest • Dec 2017 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees
- Free, multiple platform, and probably the richest set of functionality, other than Microsoft Office Word. Word improved recently for the Mac, but is still not as good as on Windows, but LibreOffice is pretty much the same everywhere. Google Docs and IBM Docs are probably closest, otherwise, and have web forms. Apache OpenOffice seems to be losing momentum, would be nice if the code bases would merge, they'd focus on a combined effort. Guest • Jan 2018 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees
- LibreOffice is the best free alternative to MS Office I have tried. It offers all I need in word processing software. It has a smart modern interface and does not require a steep learning curve if you are accustomed to MS Office. A truly great package. Guest • Apr 2018
- It is cross platform which is very useful when you need to edit a document in either windows, gnu/linux, and mac. Microsoft Office is not able to run on gnu/linux for now. 9y0xwefhpw • Apr 2018
- Freedom. If you care about that go for LibreOffice. Also you've got pretty much the same common feature, which is quick enough for everyone. Word stay good if you really want to go deeper in some modificatio, but it's really not worth the price (alone without Office 365). Guest • Apr 2017 • 1 agrees and 1 disagrees
- Lots of features, but still has compatibility issues with DOCX files. (Thanks to Microsoft) 3psilon • May 2018 • 0 agrees and 1 disagrees
