Hi, I have a subscription to MS Office 365, then I have the Softmaker Suite and Libre Office. On the CAT side I have Cafetran, Wordfast PRO (for Mac), MemoQ 9.10, Studio 2022, DVX. Here goes my question: Do I still need MS Office or can I unsubscribe it? Only app I would regret is OneNote, but Evernote does a good job, too. Agreed, 69 €/year is not a big deal, but still ...

I never had any sort of problem, so far, with displaying DOC/DOCX files using Softmaker or LibreOffice. Actually, I should be more precise: Is there any CAT tool among those mentioned that strictly "requires" MS Office?

If I recall correctly, Trados Studio makes use of MS Word (part of Office 365) for grammar and spelling checks (F7). I don't know if it would be able to use, e.g., Libre Office instead. | |
