I would like to get some community feedback on this idea so please post your responses. Essentially the same as what has been created in the Mac world Microsoft Office for Mac. And as long as you don’t use a Mac-specific font, going back-and-forth with Office documents shouldn’t be a big problem. I would not expect this to be a free product or an open source product, but a commercially produced version compatible with the Linux platform. The iWork suite lets you import and export documents in Microsoft Office formats (it will save to the iWork format by default, though). The same goes with Pages-moving text, images, and graphs around is a seamless experience that doesn’t make you want to pull your hair out. When you create something in Keynote, chances are you’ll end up creating something beautiful. While customization options are limited, everything that’s available is quite polished. Once you get used to them, they’re actually pleasant to use (something we can’t necessarily say about Microsoft Office). Since all three apps are now matured, all the basics are covered. And you don’t have as many options as the Microsoft Office suite.

Instead of being top-heavy, the options show up in a contextual menu on the side. Pages, for instance, is one of the best Word alternatives for Mac.Īs these are Mac-centric apps, the UI is quite different. The individual applications included in the suite have their own AppDB. These are Apple’s own alternatives to Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. This entry is for testing the installer of Microsofts Office application suite. Npm run start:web -document !jkcH7spkM4EGgcZUgqthk4IK3NOypVw?e=Z6G1qpĪlso, take a look at Debug add-ins on Linux.Included with your Mac is the iWork suite: Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. When you run this command, the local web server starts. Run the following command in the root directory of your project. So you can try automatically sideload on the web like this: You have to sideload and debug in Office on the web if you want to develop on a Linux computer.Īlso, if you used yeoman generator, there should be a script named start:web in the package.json file. But you get that error because there is no desktop Office for Linux. I think the problem is that npm start is trying to open desktop Office and sideload the add-in.
