I was thinking StarOffice which Sun bought (I wonder where I got Adobe from?), used internally, then donated to Apache who christened it OpenOffice.  LibreOffice was started with refugees from StarOffice.  Now Wikipedia calls it 'discontinued' but it can't be as they just released a new version this year.  Somebody must have paid them to say that.

I use libreoffice sometimes and your're right that the forrmatting goes
wacky at times. I believe open office is still free and open source. Was
Sun before? Looks like it's Apache's now

I had been using LibreOffice but when you are doing book formatting there
are so many little quirks and bugs, it drives you crazy.  I thought that
Adobe was charging for Open Office now?  IIRC they bought Open Office, let
it languish without development for years, then started charging for it.
Haven't looked recently.

Haven't used MS office for years. I'm running Open Office at home and at
work. Free works good for me :)
