Whether or not you use LibreOffice, it's very wise to save your documents in a free and open format – so that you don't get locked out of them in future! Learn more on Document Freedom Day, coming up on March 26: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #OpenSource
In one month, on March 26, we will celebrate Document Freedom Day 2025. For the first time in a while, the LibreOffice project will play a major role in organizing the event.
This happened to me with MS Office Online. I began using it with my Hotmail account when if first came out. I had quite a few documents on it, then, one day, I received a message that I needed to pay for one of their plans to access my documents. That was the final time I ever used MS Office.
On the bright side, I already had #LibreOffice, so the switch was easy.
Absolutely. I have documents I created in the past that I can no longer read. Microsoft Works, Word Pro and CorelDraw 3. I own the data, I shouldn't be limited by a proprietary file format.
It is very wise to use such format. Furthermore, in France, it is recognize by #CINES @cines_fr for long-term preservation. Not the Microsoft office formats.
Op 26 maart aanstaande is het Document Freedom Day, incl. aandacht voor Open Document Formaat (ODF): "Don't get locked out of your data! Open Standards are essential for freedom and privacy. Document Freedom Day is an yearly celebration that happens on the last Wednesday of March." Meer info: digitalfreedoms.org/en/dfd #digitaleautonomie
