Microsoft provides a help app that can lend a hand with common problems, and there's an online chatbot that can provide solutions too.

If the automated systems don't provide the answers you need, there's phone and live chat supporrt with real Microsoft technicians. Microsoft has published a set of guides for helping you carry out common tasks using Microsoft Office as well, which can be enormously helpful.

If you choose LibreOffice, you'll be relying on the goodwill of Community Assistance — but there's a lot of it. You'll find a wealth of information in the LibreOffice Wiki , Ask. LibreOffice provides a ticketing system where you can submit queries and read answers to other users' questions , and there's an IRC channel for live chat.

The important thing to remember is that, although LibreOffice's support is excellent, it's all dependent on volunteers donating their time and expertise. The Document Foundation is under no obligation to provide support, and you may have to wait longer for a reply than you would if you were using Microsoft Office.

Understandably, there's no phone support for LibreOffice, which might be an issue if you're looking for software for your business. With Microsoft Office , multiple users can share files via OneDrive, and collaborate on the same document with real-time chat. There's no equivalent feature for LibreOffice, so if you're looking for a free office suite for collaborative working, Google Docs, Sheets and Slides should be your first port of call.

If you opt for LibreOffice and want to store your documents in the cloud, you'll have to piece together your own system understandably, The Document Foundation can't provide free server space for LibreOffice's millions of users.
