npub1sw5h2pp2f0kdm2582lck3ewcesgg9pwa7hutzjs8zjnrrnetghdq4e02d0 (npub1sw5…02d0) in my days of providing IT support for people unlucky enough to be using MS products, I was frequently asked to help save corrupted MS Office files. MSO is surprisingly fragile. LibreOffice's code for opening Microsoft's proprietary formats is demonstrably better than MS'. Many 'irretrievable' MS files've been saved by LO despite MS trying to hobble it for most of its existence (because it's excellent). Users should take note. Incidentally LO came from StarOffice which predates MSO.
