Free office suite – the evolution of OpenOffice. Compatible with Microsoft .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx. Updated regularly, community powered.
Microsoft office has been able to open odt files since 2010.
Furthermore, LibreOffice does not always create/save files 100% compatible with MSO.
I used to use Libre office because free.
Word documents I have created/edited in LibreOffice were always a little broken layout wise when the document is opened in Word.
Whether it is because LibreOffice does a shitty job converting to docx when saving, Microsoft added in some anti competitor shit in Word or that the docx standard is vague is a discussion for another time.
as long as you save it as a compatible .doc .docx or something, it should work. obviously word can’t open a .odt file.
Word can in fact open odt files. It was added quite a long time ago. Don’t know how good the compatibility is, though
huh, the more you know.

that’s interesting to learn. cool of them to implement it despite there not (directly) being anything in it for them.
“Can open” and 'can open without the layout being broken" are different things.
