  Also if you’re using windows and avoiding acrobat try Sumatra for reading pdfs. FOSS is the way. Libre draw also does document signing for pdfs

    You can switch to the “Tabbed” interface for something more similar MS Office: …libreoffice.org/…/WG2521-UserInterfaceVariants.h…

    I find it’s exactly identical to MSWord, but from the mso97 days before the Ribbon bollocks. I used o97 Word because it was like win3.1 Word … word-perfect? It’s been a while.

    But, TL/DR, LOWord is like Classic MSOffice from when it didn’t suck. This will not help you adjust, but hopefully the knowledge that you’re going back to a better era of UX could help blunt the pain.

    Go carefully, and have your favourite vice handy to goose the positive reinforcement loop.
