I have had compatibility problems with LibreOffice and documents created with MS Office and I tried installing the WPS OFFICE 2016 which is free for GNU / Linux and has no compatibility problems with the Microsoft suite.
The Word and Power Point documents are shown as they were created with MS Office, so I recommend it.
For those who want to have it in Spanish, you have to install 2 .deb packages that I can gladly provide, since they require the user to register with Deepin.

Re: WPS Office
I use WPS Office and Softmaker Office. I like both of them.
Re: WPS Office
I liked WPS, but I need macro support so I decided to stick with LO.
WPS also has a TOC that seems to limit the free Linux edition to domestic (ie, China) hardware and software:
I never saw any attempt by them in their forums to enforce this restriction, and I don't understand the rationale behind it, but there it is.

Re: WPS Office
That CPU restriction makes a lot of their users into violators, I'll bet.
Since this is a package request thread, I'd like to see a [INFEASIBLE] added to the first post's title...

Re: WPS Office [INFEASIBLE]
As far as I've read their site, you pay for WPS either in cash or by accepting ads...?
Re: WPS Office [INFEASIBLE]
From what I am reading, many people write comments from a subjective view, not because they have used it.
I can write from my own experience.
I have used WPS Office in several distributions, not only with MX and the behavior is very good, I do not have any restrictions, and it is almost 100% compatible with MS Office, unlike LibreOffice, which does not save compatibility, it is very different.
When I print from WPS or make a presentation, it's the same as doing it with MS Office.
On the other hand, with LibreOffice I have to make adjustments in Write because it gets messed up and with the PowerPoint presentations in LibreOffice it comes out unarmed, whereas with WPS it is identical to MS Office.
When they try it for at least a week thoroughly, comment.
LibreOffice is a great open source office suite, but occasionally you will find one with a presentation originally made in Power Point, comes with slides and effects of transitions that are not displayed correctly in LibreOffice. And this is the point at which WPS, at least to me, solves the mess.

Re: WPS Office [INFEASIBLE]
I recommend Freeoffice, no ads, though they do ask that you register with an email.
Re: WPS Office [INFEASIBLE]
Not only is it closed source, it's made by a Chinese software and ISP company. I wouldn't trust it to not have any spyware in it.
