Direct 100% compatibility with what you probably use at work.As a home user, what is the significance and advantage of Microsoft Office over other free alternatives like LibreOffice and OpenOffice?
Direct 100% compatibility with what you probably use at work.
The alternatives are "almost 100%" compatible. Something with complex macros may have issues.
Other than that, LibreOffice and OpenOffice are completely fine for home use.
If I didn't get Office Pro for $15 from the HomeUse Program, I'd be using Libre at home. And unless they have a specific need for actual MS Office, Libre is installed on all the systems I build and give to family members.

HomeUse Program? $15 for a month or a year? Where can I get it?
Another question: I am now creating and saving documents and spreedsheet with LibreOffice, will it lose anything or format if I edit them with Ms Office later (Except Macros...)

$15 one time purchase.

As far as your specific docs? In Libre, save them as the relevant Office file type. They should probably work just fine.
Of course, try them with a second copy, not the only copy.
