LibreOfficeReviews of libreoffice.org

I used an exel file with a password on Libre Office then tried to use in exel it would not open. Very un happy!

I was super excited at first. Free document and spreadsheet software, compatible across platforms?! Awesome! And then after working with it for a few weeks I needed to rename a file. Simple, right?! I found several different descriptions online, but none of them actually worked. Such a basic thing to need to do, and evidently completely impossible.

Not a good application due to this NAGGING inconvenience (if it is fixed then it would then be a really good application) : In typing a text of about 20 pages, it is stopped sporadically by the forward move of a GREEN line appearing suddenly at the bottom of the page EVERY 5 minutes, sometimes even LESS (other applications don’t have this nagging thing). It might be due to either programming weakness. Or it could be due to some nonsensically fanciful way of programming design, willing to sporadically relax the processing of the working load being handled - which is plain redundant as computers now are not the ones of the 90's ! Besides, letters are not nicely set together : particularly the "s" and the "t"; these 2 letters are tightly close to other ones in any word one types, so that one has to use "character spacing" in the item "Format" to fix this defect. But even this tool is not well programmed at all as it affects all other letters in the word in question, at the same time, sometimes even all the letters in those words that are near that word. One only succeeds to fix that defect after many tests to get those 2 letters not "glued" to others. So, they provide a tool to fix it, but it's not a smooth tool at all. The point here is that why most of other letters are set with proper space between them, with a particular exception of those 2, in any word? A defect in the programming itself or it's just a heavy lack of graphic sense of lettering that is the cause? ... And a new version does not always mean a better version; without mentioning that it can cause the formatting in all documents done with the previous one to get askew as to space between paragraphs. The above problems, if and only if fixed well enough, would then make this application deserve 5 stars as it can be used to design book covers, through the various tools available, by first inserting photos (JPG file format, say transferring from cell phone) in its page document.

bien mais je met que 3 étoiles par ce que ça lag. mais bon on peut pas tout avoir gratuitement....

Really bad quality software, some auto-formatting options that are a nuisance and you can't turn off unless if you go through a complex set of instructions and generally very bad software quality. I get that it's free, but at least make it good.
