A change in Microsoft Word’s default typeface, from Calibri to Aptos, didn’t register for everyone, but fans of typography got excited.

      LibreOffice is pretty fantastic. And I always know where my files are being saved.

      It’s so confusing that you can’t delete a document that you’re looking at, but you can rename it. Identifying documents in OneDrive and then deleting them is tedious.

      It didnt just affect MS Word, at least the programs i use (outlook & excel) changed, and i assume the whole MS office suite.

        What a coincidence, I don’t use any of that software.
