Micro$oft office is being teached in college for my friend and I, having libreoffice, tried doing the exact same thing in it. Not only everything was possible, but also its more convenient in LibreOffice. There are many annoyances in m$ office like auto formatting which cannot be disabled and auto prediction which fills in the details of next cited person from previous (like hell what, how should two people must have same bio?) and now you have to edit all that out by replacing the autofilled ones. LibreOffice on the other hand has much better UX

(Talking about Excel vs Calc and also Word vs Writer)

I mean maybe that specific advanced feature is not in libreoffice, but there are much more good things in it that is worth considering using it.

I use libreoffice and onlyoffice daily for academic works, with a few works published out there. I even use more features than the average office user, and I have to listen to people claiming that they can't use any of those, because they're inferior. I even have to listen to people saying that libreoffice isn't suited for doing any SERIOUS WORK, and I'm like "What? My work isn't serious?".

But tne other user got a point. People want to see the name and the ms office logo. They will reject any alternative just because is isn't ms office, no matter how good and sufficient they are.
