I use Windows at home. Linux at work.

The last couple of days I was "forced" to work in Windows due to the need of Microsoft Word for documentation.

I just noticed today, that when I rebooted and entered Gnome shell again, it felt like coming home.

:)

@Artemix Oh, that's not so bad. It gets really painful when you are forced to use Microsoft Excel for documentation.

Libre can open word files so why not use it on linux?

@juzles
Good point. My colleague thought that, too, and used it for half a day. When I then opened his libre-edited document in M$ Word, cpu went crazy, cross refs were all in Error and fonts were a bit off. He had to pull out hiw Windows-pc too, in the end, and redo his work...

@Artemix
It was suggested, that LateX would be used, as the structure of all the 14 test docs and 14 product manuals used the same template.

This was dropped though, with the usual argument: Don't have time.

Copy/paste and search'n replace is so much faster, you see...

I think @Artemix 's proposal is the best, markdown is fast to write and **plaintext**🎉 so that it can be automatically generated by extracting comments from source at compile time --> no old documentation.
I think some kind of automation can be obtained from Word but it sounds painful and I'm quite sure it's not any command line stuff

Ah, ~ sweet ~
