I find it’s exactly identical to MSWord, but from the mso97 days before the Ribbon bollocks. I used o97 Word because it was like win3.1 Word … word-perfect? It’s been a while.
But, TL/DR, LOWord is like Classic MSOffice from when it didn’t suck. This will not help you adjust, but hopefully the knowledge that you’re going back to a better era of UX could help blunt the pain.

Thanks mate! I’ve downloaded it but I’m really struggling with the layout any tips? it’s so different looking to word
Libre is terrible, too. Download OnlyOffice.
You can switch to the “Tabbed” interface for something more similar MS Office: https://books.libreoffice.org/en/WG252/WG2521-UserInterfaceVariants.html#toc6
Thanks I tried that yesterday but I don’t get given those options on libre
Hmm, that’s weird. Are you on a semi-recent version of LibreOffice? I believe, it got shipped with version 6.0.
And just to be sure, you are checking here, right?:
Yep there exactly. I’m in the UK if that matters
I can’t imagine the country matters.
Do you just not have the “User Interface…” menu entry?
