This is the business I am in. Use www.libreoffice.org =
<http://www.libreoffice.org> for the office suite and use =
www.foxitsoftware.com <http://www.foxitsoftware.com> for the free pdf =
reader.
And just as an aside, ESET.com is the best anti-virus software out =
there. Not free, but it is the best.

Look into =E2=80=98OpenOffice.=E2=80=99 It=E2=80=99s open =

Had to buy a new laptop. For years I've been using an office products =
suite license that I bought years ago. As each old laptop dies, I get =
another used one, move the license, etc etc.=20

This Win10 machine won't run this old software. No surprise there.=20
=20
Sooooooo.....I need Word and Excel for my side hustle. I am not against =
buying stand alones if I have to but if I am seeing this correctly, they =
are now only "annual licenses" that would have to be renewed each year. =
What a crock...er, I mean racket.=20
=20
I looked at open source but there are so many that I quickly got =
confused.=20
=20
One thing that is a must have is creating an invoice in Word then saving =
it as a pdf for sending to our customers. If none of the open source =
stuff has this feature, then I'd be forced to go with Word.=20

Shop content: I am selling buying and selling parts that are stored in =
my garage shop and my basement shop.=20

Thanks all
