LibreOffice Reviews

This "office" system does everything that's needed in your office from word processing to presentations, with 100% compatibility to several other office-like products, and does it in a wonderful no-cost format.

No e-mail software is included, but there are many alternatives, that can be used in conjunction with LibreOffice.

Grab something from the public domain, such as "claws mail" or Mozilla Thunderbird to handle your e-mail.Although e-mail functionality would have been a nice feature in LibreOffice, it wasn't included in the package, likely due to the fact that there is an over abundance of e-mail utilities floating around for Linux, and Linux-y environments.

I needed a way to handle MS Word and MS Excel files under Linux. LibreOffice provides that, and more, including functions for rendering all work to Adobe PDF documents.

its free and open source libre cal and drow work lige magically , i loke most libre draw its provide too much function best is edit any type doc which offer by paid software

libre write make issue in text formating

we use mostly libre cal and draw , libre draw some function like adobe to design and edit doc

Microsoft has joined the cloud, and LibreOffice has not. Libre office continues to improve its features and functionality, even though other freeware products do not. It is very easy to maintain and install, and all of the documents can readily be shared with others using a myriad of products.

The only downside I have experienced while using LibreOffice is in their Writer product.

I write letters, other documents, and also information which will be placed on the web. While I can view it as a formatted document for printing or view it as a web document, it does not save this way, and the document will always load formatted for printing. I would really appreciate it if how the document is viewed is saved as part of the document, so when retrieved it will be in the proper format.

As open software, you could take the time to program things for yourself. LibreOffice is continually updating features, fixing bugs, and making things smoother for the user.

As I know it, LibreOffice is basically Microsoft Office Suite all in one, but with even more! The editor is hands-down far superior to Works, in my opinion, and their Excel tye data program also has more for me and is more user-friendly. The whole suite is more user-friendly and updated more often... but the best thing is it is free!

On occasion, it makes my screen go black but always comes back in a minute but that has not happened lately with new updates. Also, it is really just for Desktops and laptops and I need it for my tablet. I, however, have been using the program since the inception of Open Office and don't really write on my tablet anyway.

Well, it is free! I refuse to pay for something everyone should have available and the Microsoft Suites used to be free, in part, now paid for, and it solves the financial problem. It also solves the problem of needing a professional-type editor, and more. Google Docs and workspace is much of that now but the book-writing capabilities of LibreOffice shine! I not only am a soon-to-be-published author but I need it for the copy or text of my Amazon.com descriptions for sales, and Etsy. eBay, and others.

the interface proivded by libreoffice is very simple, i am using this app from longtime in both mac and ubuntu

it is bit slow as compared to microsoft office

it is providing this app for free, if i use microsoft office i have to pay huge amount every year
