Belatucadrus Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 Latest version LibreOffice Productivity Suite 5.4.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morty Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 I've heard good reports about this Libreoffice software ... Question please. I've loads of documents created on Word. Business envelope templates etc. Are they compatible? And would I be able to open and edit old doc files? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Compatibility with Word is very good, it's perfectly capable of handling .doc files, though I can't guarantee it'll replicate more exotic page layouts precisely. The suite does occasionally fall foul of Excel macros and it's not ideal at handling Access databases. But it's improving all the time, I've used it for years without problems and when you compare what it gives you for nothing with the current rental arrangement for Office I see no good reason to change.

morty Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Thanks .. that's worth knowing as I use Word a fair bit but rarely Excel and Access so whilst I never nearly needed the whole Office Suite the cost of just Word alone is getting daft.

-pops- Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 I gave up with the Microsoft effort many years ago and moved over to Open Office. This had (and still has) good compatibility with most of the MS Office suite but there are some layout differences which I didn't like. I moved over to LibreOffice about three years ago and found this a great improvement over Open Office. The layout is more like MS (at least on the word processor, which I use most frequently). The toolbars are coloured and have a more positive impact than the MS Office which makes it easier to use, at least for me. The best thing about these independent office suites is that they can export in a number of formats, including old versions of MS Word. This is very useful if you have recipients with dinosaur versions of any type of office suite (which I have). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pewpewmarc Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Libre office is still a good choice for people that can't or refuse to pay for microsoft's whole office suite. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
