        Thanks to everyone here who recommended LibreOffice for my MacBookAir (now that Microsoft have disabled my old version of MSWord).

        I've downloaded it, used it for a couple of things (very instinctive interface) and have donated to the Document Foundation for the light use I will make of it in the future.
