The worst of this is that my friend "needs Word" for working at home

You sure MS Word is a mandate dictated by her employer?Â* Maybe she just
thinks it is a mandate from her employer?Â* More likely they just want
her to work on Word documents.


Or create documents in .doc or .docx format. As long as she did, her
employer would be highly unlikely to know what program she was using.

They could look at the properties of the file :-)


There's more than one way to find out. I didn't suggest that it was
impossible, just that it was highly unlikely for them to go to the
trouble to check, if the format was what they wanted.
