Libreoffice

The LibreOffice version 6.2 is available for free download starting today. This office suite includes new features as well as improvements across the various programs Writer, Calc, Impress, and Draw.

New User Interface with NotebookBar

LibreOffice 6.2 with NotebookBar offers a radical new approach to the user interface - based on the MUFFIN concept - and provides user experience options that can satisfy everyone’s preferences while making the most of all screen sizes.

LibreOffice 6.1 includes two new icon themes: Colibre, which is now the default theme on Windows, and Karasa Jaga. Additionally, image management has been improved, making the software faster and more responsive, while new fill gradients, help files, and interface translations make it the best free LibreOffice software of all time.

Version 6 of LibreOffice will bring a host of new features, all available for free download.

Writer

• Image rotation at any angle
• New default table style
• Direct cursor: added an option to insert only spaces;
• Search toolbar: added a dropdown list to define the type of search;
• Using a Writer document as a data source for a mail merge;
• Temporary connections created during a mail merge are no longer stored;
• Import/export of ActiveX controls from or to the OOXML format;
• Enhanced handling of embedding in text documents (DOCX/DOC) and spreadsheets (XLSX/XLS).

The Document Foundation (TDF) has announced LibreOffice 5.4.4, the fourth minor release of the LibreOffice 5.4 family, one month ahead of the major announcement of LibreOffice 6.0. While it still offers advantages in terms of features, conservative users and businesses can begin the upgrade process from their current implementation of LibreOffice 5.3.

The Document Foundation provides a LibreOffice viewer for Android. It is available for download on Google Play.

Editing is still an experimental feature that must be enabled separately in the settings and is not stable enough for critical tasks. It will be improved in the future to become a full-fledged editing solution with the help of developers. Editing features have been developed thanks to donations to The Document Foundation. Feedback and bug reports are welcome to help developers improve the quality of the application before it becomes a complete editor. Users are encouraged to report issues using the bug tracker and attaching files that triggered the problem at https://bugs.documentfoundation.org.
