LibreOffice 4.4 taxis

LibreOffice is the flagship office suite for Linux, and is also quite popular among Windows users. A free, open and cross-platform package includes everything you need: a text editor, spreadsheets, presentations, etc. The only problem was that before it did not always work as promised: support for Microsoft Office documents, to put it mildly, was limping.

With the release of version 4.4, the situation has greatly changed for the better. The simplified interface and improved support for proprietary formats have been admired by reviewers. Finally, we received a free office package of proper quality, they write.

Changes are noticeable immediately after the launch of any application from the office suite.

The interface has become much better, more elegant. Programs look more modern. Despite the abundance of menus and buttons, working with LibreOffice has become more intuitive and productive, it says in one of the reviews.







The interface has implemented a contextual adjustment of the menu to the user's actions, as well as in the notorious "ribbon" interface of Microsoft Office.

Most importantly, support for MS Office files has been significantly improved. The result can be called revolutionary. Those files that simply did not convert before and crashed with an error are now normally converted from ODF to DOC / DOCX and back. Although the result can not be called perfect, but significant progress is evident.







One of the admiring observers believes that the version of LibreOffice 4.4 could well bear the number 5.0, so dramatic differences compared with the previous release.
