LibreOffice has improved its looks and added more interoperable features
- droithomme 11y ago> Mac OS X x86_64 (10.8 or newer required) 10.8 and forward have serious problems. What specifically about stable versions of OS X makes LibreOffice incapable?
- PhantomGremlin 11y ago10.8 and forward have serious problems. But old versions are totally unsupported in terms of security fixes. So if your computer is being used to access the Internet in general, you really need to be on 10.9 or newer. And it won't be long before Apple stops pushing security fixes to 10.9. There's no LTS equivalent of OS X. There probably should be, but it's a consumer OS so Apple has no real incentive to do that.
- petetnt 11y agoI am fine with the "tried and true menu-based interface that any Microsoft Office 2003 user will recognize at a glance" but not sure if that requires the program to look like a program from 2003 too, especially when touting improved looks.
- reirob 11y agoI just downloaded the Debian packages and installed them on Ubuntu 14.04 following the instructions. The installation went fine and I immediately tried if it would render better some MS Word documents than the Libre Office 4.x something that was installed by Ubuntu. And indeed the documents look better, though not 100% as in Word. But the colors on some menu items are wrong, i.e. with inversed colors. I am wondering, if there is a chance that this version of LibreOffice will be integrated into Ubuntu LTS 14.04 and if how long it would take.
