LibreOffice is a free and open source office suite, developed by The Document Foundation. It was forked from OpenOffice.org in 2010. The LibreOffice suite comprises programs to do word processing, spreadsheets, slideshows, diagrams and drawings, maintain databases, and compose math formulae.
LibreOffice uses the international
ISO/IEC standard OpenDocument file format as its native format to save
documents for all of its applications (as do its OpenOffice.org cousins
Apache OpenOffice and NeoOffice). The OpenDocument file format is now
also supported by all major competing office suite applications
(proprietary and open source). LibreOffice is also compatible with other
major office suites, including Microsoft Office, through a variety of
import/export filters.
The file formats of Microsoft Office are
well supported, though some layout features and formatting attributes
are handled differently in the application or are not entirely supported
in the filters. LibreOffice is available in over 110 languages
and for a variety of computing platforms, including Microsoft Windows,
Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger or newer, and Linux. It is the default office suite
of most popular Linux distributions.
Between January 2011 (the first stable
release) and October 2011, LibreOffice was downloaded approximately 7.5
million times. During 2012, the office suite was downloaded about 15
million times.
LibreOffice is a powerful office suite;
Its clean interface and its powerful tools let you unleash your
creativity and grow your productivity.
LibreOffice embeds several applications that make it the most powerful Free & Open Source Office suite on the market.
LibreOffice 4: the free office suite the
community has been dreaming of for twelve years. It is one of the
friendliest and fastest growing projects in the free and open source
software world. It is about more than software. It’s about people,
culture, creation, sharing and collaboration. LibreOffice Basic is a
programming language similar to Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications
(VBA) but based on StarOffice Basic. It is available in Writer, Calc and
Base. It is written in functions called subroutines or macros, with
each macro performing a different task, such as counting the words in a
paragraph.
