About LibreOffice for Mac LibreOffice is a free software office suite developed by The Document Foundation as a fork of OpenOffice.org. It is compatible with other major office suites, including Microsoft Office, and available on a variety of platforms. Advertisement There’s a couple of decent, free office suites available these days. As well as the usual applications, cloud-based services like Google Docs make accessing your work from anywhere a doddle – but you’ll need a reliable Internet connection to do any work. It is for this reason that it’s always advisable to have a set of tools installed, especially if you suddenly need to knock out a spreadsheet or type up a letter and can’t get online. Canonical (Ubuntu et al), Novell and Red Hat have all revealed that they plan to include in their future operating systems, so what makes it so good? Libre, As In “Free” The LibreOffice suite began as a separate fork of the highly respected project on September 28, 2010. Some members of the development team were concerned about the recent Sun Microsystems buyout by Oracle, who have already discontinued the free OpenSolaris OS. Was formed, Oracle were invited to become a member and it was the hope of this foundation that the OpenOffice name would eventually make its way to the new project. This was never to be, and LibreOffice is now the “alternative” OpenOffice. LibreOffice uses the same version number as OpenOffice, as it is based on the same source code. At the time of writing there have been a number of releases including three betas and three release candidates – all within a 4 month timeframe.

Download & Installation LibreOffice is available for all three major operating systems on the. If you’re running there’s an executable installer to download and run, users can download PPC and Intel.DMG files and there’s for users. Ubuntu users (and those using Ubuntu-based distributions) can download from for a super-fast install. Note: Installing LibreOffice on my Ubuntu 10.10 install replaced my OpenOffice suite. Make sure you’ve not got any unsaved documents open whilst installing! First you’ll need to add repositories. What’s Included If you’ve ever used OpenOffice, then you’ll find all the included modules familiar, right down to their names: Writer A highly flexible word processor that can read, edit and save text documents in a variety of formats (including Microsoft’s proprietaries).

Calc No Office suite is complete without a spreadsheet program, and Calc employs some pretty powerful features along the way. Natural language formulas allow you to use words as well as numeric formulas, there’s the Intelligent Sum Button which works out your numbers based on context and support for a variety of formats including Microsoft Office 2008.XLSX files.
