I am developing a format for the consistent recording of information. This is for a voluntary organisation for the use of a range of people in different locations. It has to as cheap as possible to set up using commonly available devices such as laptop and mobile phone for photos to produce a newsletter style output.
I started on this a while back and settled on Word with a newsletter template. Two things have happened since. Apple have witched to 64 but meaning that legacy owned copies of Word will not work, not an issue for everybody but certainly for some. One person is currently using a very satisfactory but ancient MacBook Air. Also Microsoft has introduced the subscription model and I suspect the possibility to own a copy of Office or Word will diminish over time.
So I am looking round for a low/no cost alternative whereby a newsletter style format can be produced. I have tried Libreoffice but it has few templates and it’s newsletter one is quite basic. I aim to explore Google Docs about which I know virtually nothing. I would welcome any suggestions for a programme to use and whether Google docs might fit the bill.
TIA, Lemma
