LibreOffice is free and is open source, so you can free to download, use and learn LibreOffice. I suppose these changes (or using what suggested) would give you the idea but actually just installing normal LibreOffice alongside with your MS Office would be more comfortable (but the remark about MS Office reassociating everything to itself stays true).ĭisclaimer: the English names of Windows UI I used may be incorrect because I translated them from Russian (which I use).
