Ribbon? What's that? :confused:
Insert | Break...it's right there on the Standard toolbar where it's always been. I've been using it all day. -

The meaning of "Word vent" in Dutch is "Be a man", also very appropiate :-\ And btw. I am very happy using the free TextMaker from SoftMaker: free-ms-word-compatible-word-processors~softmaker-freeoffice[^]

I've never "up"graded from Office 2003 ... installed the docX and xlsX import/export filters, all good.
Me too! It works great.

I suppose I could try it and see, but if you have a lot of experience with it does it do index marks, and create indexes as easily as Word? I did all the formatting for a book in Word, and it worked well. Tried it in Libre and other offices, and always started swearing when I found out how difficult it was to edit index entries. Indexing a book with thousands of index marks is a real chore if they can't be edited easily.

I only know that my Word documents with a table of contents work as they should. Maybe this video will give you some idea about indexes: Stichwortverzeichnis / Index erstellen (Free Office TextMaker) - YouTube[^]

That video doesn't address the editing stage of the indexing process. The following video only briefly touches on the editing capabilities of Word at the timestamp I've linked it to: [Building An Index In Word: How The Experts Do It - YouTube](https://youtu.be/T0HNAZffxXg?t=492). When the entries are visible like they are at that stage you can use Word's find and replace on the entries themselves to adjust them. For instance, if your document used the words 'thunder' and 'thunderbolt', and you realized it after creating the entries for them, you could find the 'thunder' in the entries by searching for "thunder" (with quotes) to step to each one, and replace them with "thunder/bolt". Repeat the process for 'thunderbolt' and recreate the index! Easy! But not in any of the freebies I've seen. Unless TextMaker has it, but it isn't in a video.

For general needs (simple documents, basic formatting, TOC), most office tools work just fine, even GoogleDocs. But if the need is more complex, the only one with which I've had success that didn't have me pulling what's left of my hair out is Word. A couple of years ago I was required to use LibreOffice, but the formatting was taking me 10 times what Word did. So I wrote the document in Word, then did a 1-time conversion to Libre. It was the only way I could complete the job on time and within budget.

That has been my conclusion as well. Long ago everyone was bragging about how excellent Serif PagePlus was for the price for a layout program. Word was far easier, especially editing index entries. I do hate how fiddly inserting graphics can be, but once you've 'got it,' it works.
