> What functionality are you missing from the free LibreOffice?
I'm not sure if LibreOffice deals with this better than OpenOffice, but being able to open documents with "track changes" enabled, and not having them come out like garbage, would be nice. (I tried finding the specific document in question, but I guess I've erased it since then.)

Depending on how much time it takes you to ramp up to your productivity in a paid version, it might make a lot of sense to pay that much "because you're used to it".
I haven't used LibreOffice since the true OS version was still OpenOffice, does it even have Track Changes itself, or is that part of why files w/track changes on look like garbage?
TT is probably the most useful feature for me in word, both for technical documents going out for review and my personal fiction writing things when it is time for me to deal with an editor (haven't yet, but EVERY writer I know says you need track changes to be able to effectively work with an editor).
