Free office suite – the evolution of OpenOffice. Compatible with Microsoft .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx. Updated regularly, community powered.
From my experince, an odt made in Libreoffice is what works best in both it and Word. But that’s just how it’s been for me, so who knows what weird things happen to other people when going back and forth between them.
and please do as .pdf aswell if you have students. Sometimes one of our profs powerpoint slides dont show equasions with a libre Software. So annoying!
My physics prof made it a whole thing and told us that the slides on Canvas are uploaded with .pdf so you can open it in the browser just fine without needing open office or something on Linux. First time a prof ever recognized the Linux community. I love physicists.
Word can in fact open odt files. It was added quite a long time ago. Don’t know how good the compatibility is, though

Hmm I’ll just send documents as .odt then. Embrace the libre way
