What is Libre Office. What are the advantages of libre Office?
LibreOffice is a free and open-source office suite—based on the OpenOffice
codebase—has a clean user interface and feature-rich tools. With LibreOffice,
families, businesses, charities, and government departments can produce neat and
professional-looking documents, ranging from letters, theses, brochures, financial
reports, marketing presentations, even technical drawings, and diagrams. There’s
also no need to worry about whether a document can be opened on LibreOffice, as
the suite supports multiple document formats. These include Microsoft Word
(.doc, .docx), Microsoft Excel (.xls, .xlsx), and even Microsoft PowerPoint
(.ppt, .pptx). Microsoft Publisher and even modern document formats like
OpenDocument Format or ODF are also supported. New functionalities can also be
added to the suite’s tools, as it offers a wide range of extensions and templates. All
of that allows users to create documents faster and smarter.
