So I am going back to college at the age of 30, and on my current desktop I have no Microsoft crap. What are some good alternatives to Microsoft word and office that are open, free software.

The writing program should meet ASA requirements. Stuff like time roman numeral and all that fun shit.

Is libreoffice the go to?

Libre office will fit all the needs

It regularly fucks up layout in docx files, so I usually keep my Wangblows machine for such files.
>>
FreeOffice 2016 or WPS Office 2016

When it comes time to open it up in actual MS office programs it prevents >>58484326 from happening

WPS Office or FreeOffice
WPS Office files are literally docx files while FreeOffice files are tmd

Choose WPS Office.
The (.tmd)s are trash in an MS Word viewer

Please take filehiipo malware updated off that list...

When you are done in libre office just print to file as a pdf. Then it will look the same on any computer.

I'm not sure about your requirements but in general:
- Use libreoffice and save your documents in ODF if you want to be always the owner of those documents and never depend on one entity. IF you need to share that document and it'll not be edited by other people use PDF.
- For documents that needs to be edited by more than one person i recommend online solutions like google docs. Honestly, unless you definitely need a feature only available on MSO, google docs is much nicer for working collaboratively.
- If you need to deal with Microsoft formats and you don't want to use their products you can check onlyoffice or WPS office.
- If you don't mind to use microsoft products but you don't like windows you can run MS office 2007 or 2010 on wine. I think you can run MSO 2013 with a recent version of crossver but i'm not sure about wine.

In 95% of the cases i'm well covered by libreoffice and google docs.
