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 us=
ed one, move the license, etc etc.

This Win10 machine won't run this old software. No surprise there.

Sooooooo.....I need Word and Excel for my side hustle. I am not against buy=
ing stand alones if I have to but if I am seeing this correctly, they are n=
ow only "annual licenses" that would have to be renewed each year. What a c=
rock...er, I mean racket.

I looked at open source but there are so many that I quickly got confused.

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 ha=
s this feature, then I'd be forced to go with Word.

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

Thanks all
tim
