I’d like to process some Microsoft Word documents on my android tab. Do you have any recommendations on FOSS word editors that work with .doc and .docx on android?

I recommend moving to .odt and such, Microsoft altered the supposed-to-be-standardised formats they use, probably to lock people into their ecosystem. You could instead select all and copy from the docx into a fresh .odt, and fix the formatting differences.

Yeah, I'm on my way home now to do this on my Linux rig. Ugh... Would've been nice to be able to do it from my tab at the cafe, but, we can't have it all, I guess 🤣
