I am on my Librem 5 and I am trying to locally open a .doc file from a personal backup from 2007. My tech habits were different in 2007 so I’m not here to talk about the (bad) decision to store this file in .doc format back then. What I wanted to do was to open this file on my Librem 5 and copy so…

Thanks guys! Per your suggestions, it works as expected after I restarted Writer. The problem I was having was a bug, possibly due to the “Tip of the Day” function or whatever. After a popup tip was shown, even when I closed it Writer was not responsive other than selecting text. After exiting Wri…

It makes sense that, as an independent contractor, you are choosing this for yourself not being mandated to use this workflow by an employer. Ergo, this is not a need but rather a desire/want.

Well, I need it because Tour Operators/Travel Agencies offices send me files during tours and I’ve to open, read and modify it! So it’s something mandatory for me. I suppose I can use some office app for Android throw Waydroid in the meanwhile a proper mobile office or, better, adaptive Libre Offic…

So in one sense, @veleno has given himself a work phone. :crazy_face:
