What Document Files Do You Use?

[Ninurta]

Like Ninurta, I use LibreOffice (the modern version of Open Office).  As good as MS Office and free.  Includes a nice drawing package.

For graphics, I also think PNG is good, but JPG is also okay for some images that don't suffer much from compression.

PDF is useful as is epub.

"Free and full featured" was a big draw that brought me to Open Office. I also liked that I could save a document as a PDF with just a single push of a button. For example, the book I wrote about the Faltskog/Hershel hoax perpetrated at ATS was written in Open Office. I saved one version for myself as an .ODT file, and then pushed the button to create a PDF file for distribution.

Since all the features and controls are in different places, creating spreadsheets had a learning curve when I migrated away from MS Office, but I eventually got the hang of that, too. I had to create spreadsheets for work at the last job I worked, but found them useful for other applications as well, so I brought the tech home with me, then retained it when I migrated to Linux. I mostly use them for genealogical applications these days.
