I had seen 3 "related" question for this :

1. [Office suites category](https://powerusers.codidact.com/posts/281809) ~ proposed by @Lundin (My [answer](https://powerusers.codidact.com/posts/281811#answer-281811))
2. [Software Recommendations Category](https://powerusers.codidact.com/posts/281716) ~ proposed by @Moshi (My [answer](https://powerusers.codidact.com/posts/281812#answer-281812))
3. [Site for office suites](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/277548) ~ proposed by @SeverusSnape‭ (My [answer](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/281856#answer-281856))

All of these question are related. That's why I linked all of them one to another. 

<hr/>

In `site for office suites` proposal [@pnuts said](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/277907#answer-277907) :

>Stack Overflow [SO] currently has over 1,000 Qs tagged both [excel] and [google-sheets], some Qs with tags for three different suites.

I have different opinion. As we know Software Codidact is for programming related Q&A. And, Office Suites aren't related to programming. So, that's completely off-topic in Software Codidact. But, in Software Codidact peoples had asked more than 50 questions related to Office Suites (Just guessing the number). In Power Users peoples had asked nearly 8 questions related to Office Suites. 

I think Power Users is best suit for Office Suites question. But, Power Users and Linux Codidact is for "OS" related Q&A. So, it would be better if there was other category for Software Related Q&A. 

>Do creating new categories for per 100 software make sense?

So, if there was any Software Category where we can ask about any Software related Questions than, it would helpful. If staffs create two category one for Office Suites and, another for Software. But, Software can contains Office Suites. So, Office Suites category isn't a good idea.

**Wait until moderator create a category/site for Office suites/Software.**
