Try onlyoffice and slowly try to shift to libreoffice with open document formats. Or just skip that part and move everyone to the web versions of office. Also if you guys are on office 2010, the last time I ran it via wine, it worked completely fine.

No you cannot shift to open document formats because you can't send an odt file to another company. They will not know what it is. In the enterprise world you have to "send them the word" or "the excel".

I'm most case you provably want to just send the document as PDF, don't you? For which use case do you want to send an editable document to another company?

Many companies will send you docx files out of sheer idiocity. And tell you to "send the word" to them.

And excel is always transferred as xlsx
