which programs in Microsoft office are compatible with libreoffice and

Software compatibility is in the mind of the beholder.

I mean these software:
microsoft frontpage, InfoPath, Publisher, OneNote, Lync, Visio, Project.

As a general rule of thumb, the following are rough equivalents.

* Microsoft Word: Write;
* Microsoft Excel: Calc;
* Microsoft Outlook: Not Available.
          Suggested options are Evolution, Thunderbird with either Lightning
or Sunbird;
* Microsoft Powerpoint: Impress;
* Microsoft Access: Base, dbase3 clone;
          Can connect to SQLite, Oracle, MySQL, PostGress, amongst other
database engines;
* Microsoft Infopath: Not Available:
        I think I've seen third party frameworks that incorporate LibO as
part of their process workflow, in providing this functionality;
* Microsoft Visio: Draw;
* Microsoft Office Picture Manager: There are third party extensions and
templates utilizing Draw, Base, and Write that provide this functionality;
* Microsoft Publisher: Write; Draw;
* Microsoft Onenote: Not available:
        There are third party extensions and templates utilizing Base, and
Write that provide this functionality;
        Suggested option: Zotero, Docear;
* Microsoft Communicator; Not available: Suggested options are Pidgin,
Thunderbird;
* Microsoft Interconnector; Not available:
        There are third party extensions and templates utilizing Base, and
Write that provide this functionality;
* Microsoft Frontpage: HTML Editor;
* Microsoft Accounting: Not available:
        There are third party extensions and templates utilizing Calc, Base,
and Write that provide this functionality;
        Suggested options are GnuCash, LedgerSMB;
* Microsoft Entourage: Not Available.
        Suggested options are Evolution, Thunderbird with Lightning or Sunbird;
* Microsoft Binder; Not available: No suggested options.
* Microsoft Schedule Plus; Note available:
        There are third party extensions and templates utilizing Calc, Base,

* Microsoft Photodraw; Draw;
* Microsoft Picture it; Draw;
* Microsoft Expression Web; Not available: No recommendations;
* Microsoft Front page; Write/HTML Editor;
* Microsoft Sharepoint services: Not available: No recommendations;
* Microsoft Office Assistant; Assuming that it hasn't be removed during
the ongoing code refactoring, there is one;
* Microsoft Visual Basic StarBasic, Java, Python, PERL, Ruby, R, etc,
etc, etc;
* Microsoft Visual Basic Applications: Built in IDE when using
StarBasic, Java, Python, PERL, Ruby, R, etc, etc, etc;
* Equation Editor; Math;
* Microsoft Project: Not Available;
        There are third party extensions and templates utilizing Calc, Base,
and Write that provide this functionality;
        Suggested options are: OpenProj from http://openproj.org/;

* Microsoft Lync: Not Available: Suggested options are Pidgin, Thunderbird;

How well these work for you, depends upon your specific use-case. In
most circumstances, the suggestions here provide a viable solution.

AOo, EU, and LibO can read/write/edit most MSO File formats.

The most significant MSO file formats which AOo can not read/write are
MSO Publisher and MSBinder;
The most significant MSO file format which EO can not read/write is
MSBinder;
The most significant MSO file format which LibOo can not read/write is
MSBinder;

FWIW, somebody once emailed me, asking where the Microsoft Groove
functionality could be found in LibreOffice, or if not in it, a libre
alternative. I told them I didn't know, since I only listen to CDs.

I didn't have the heart to ask them what sort of office suite includes a
music streaming service.

They were probably referring to the "Microsoft Office Groove" collaboration tool <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_SharePoint_Workspace>, which was renamed to "SharePoint Workspace" in 2010 (before being replaced by "OneDrive for Business").

Although the confusion with "Xbox Music" which was renamed to "Groove Music" <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groove_Music> in 2015 isn't surprising...

This is incorrect -- Sorry had a slip of the brain or copy / paste !!!

Front page is one of the worst programs for creating Web pages (HTML). Even "Dreamweaver" used to have a menu option called "clean up Front page".

My recommendations, amongst the many, many web development programs available, is "Bluefish", open source, runs on Linux, Windows, OS X, etc.

So Microsoft Front page; Bluefish

That makes more sense.

Is their a Floss equivalent to Microsoft SharePoint?
