General

We started in 2010 with OpenOffice.

Soon after that the LibreOffice fork developed

We adopted it as the development was much more active.

By 2018 the compatability with Microsoft "x" formats was 90% of the way there.

Install

It is in the normal repos.

Add the ppa for the latest.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa

Writer

Very useful and a full range of scriptable command line options as well.


Calc

This is the Microsoft Excel of the Open Source World

Impress


Focus

On KDE/Kubuntu you occosionally open a window and nothing seem sto happen. The Writer or other LO application does not grab the focus even though it appears in the panel

To get around this you need to turn off focus stealing prevention.

See the picture to the right.
