    you mean this

    look better than this??

    I dont know but i like libreoffice better in terms of ui.

    But now I think I understood the formatting issue in calc tho. i dont know how excel handles this

    playing around with Impress i can get pretty good slides without any issues(yet). I think your problem is only with portability. I guess that will remain unsolved for a long time.

    edit :

    So yeah now I dont see the formatting problem, can you elaborate on that?(what other formatting issue you faced?)

      Yes the PowerPoint ui is much better. It takes more space but it’s much easier to find features you might not use as frequently.

      I haven’t done much switching between calc and excel. Formatting issues come up when making or editing a document in libreoffice and opening it in MS office. Especially with impress, the position and sizes of objects will be very different between the two programs. This makes opening a presentation from impress with PowerPoint on a different computer impractical.

        I like Libreoffice ui better. There are different ui modes too if you want to experiment. I selected tabbed compact since I like compact UI, there are other modes which takes more space and have more features visible probably. Anyway UI might be about preferences but at least there are different UI modes. If you hate all of them, its okay.

        Almost all your problems sounds like problems when mixing MS office. Do you face other problems that is not a compatibility issue with MS?
