I would love to see #LibreOffice include US postal coding for addresses (the coding just above the mailing address). I know there are some add-on that do this, but they have not worked for me in my experience.

If you're an editor, I found the #LibreOffice track changes feature is not as accessible as MSWord is. There's a bunch of dialogs that simply don't read, like the templates dialog. The ones that find it accessible probably never go beyond using it as a way to just type documents but the minute you have to start formatting stuff or working collaboratively or working with templates, well, that's when it starts to fail hard for me. Then again, other blind people are far more lenient about accessibility issues than I am and I believe other blind people have trained themselves to getting around the inaccessibility so they might say it's fully accessible. @sasquatch

So, I'm debating with myself if it's time to ditch Microsoft365 & switch to something like #LibreOffice I'm not sure how #accessible it is to #blind users as I've never really looked into using it before, but I'd like some opinions from others before I devote my time & some SSD space to it. If it's worth it, then ditching both MS365 & Copilot Pro would save me around $30 a month. I'd still need to think of how to replace OneDrive, as having a 2TB drive in the cloud is sort of handy.
