you can run many windows programs with wine (not from the grape) (my personal hit rate is over 90%)

you could also use LibreOffice (both windows and linux) which is almost if not equal to openoffice and is included on most linux systems.  I also read that OpenOffice may be on the way out as more and more of their team leaves and can't be replaced, among other reasons.

Here is just one article on the matter:

Back to LaTex.
It's survived and in spite of a steep learning curve, still the best IMHO.

I wrote several articles for a computer magazine, all in LaTex the editors would take the LaTex
and (after all edits were done) send it off as is to the typesetters.

Open office's not bad, sorry to hear there having difficulty. It's one of the remaining Sun products that
I know of (originally StarOffice before Apache took over)


(I still have a Sun with original Unix (Solaris), StarOffice, etc.) I haven't fired it up in 20 years so don't know
if it would even run. Also been in the basement of a building with building that has a brick foundation (circa 1600's)

Libre office is similar to MS office.

Libre impress is the power point of that

Why in the world would you want it to start at boot?
Why are you asking in a python forum?

That can get a bit tricky.  You would need to write a script to run the program after the user login.  An easier way, that requires no scripts, is just leave the program open on the desktop when you logout.  You could also create a 'short cut' on the desktop.
