LibreOfficeFinal few days of the Month of LibreOffice! And you can get a sticker pack by simply using the hashtag #LibreOffice and telling the world why you love the suite 🥰
zodarr@libreoffice I mainly use Calc, with a lot of data imported from multiple .csv files, then aggregated in a separate sheet via expressions, and set up to be filtered. I must say, #LibreOffice is faster handling lots of data than E***l. That is only one of the reasons I like to use the suite.
Adonay Felipe Nogueiraen: personally, my first reason for liking #LibreOffice Calc is because it's #FreeSoftware, #FreeAsInFreedom, not price. 2nd: it's quicker. 3rd: it's #Excel'lent when I can use #OpenDocument / #OpenDocumentFormat / #ODF.
pt-BR: pessoalmente, minha primeira razão para gostar do LibreOffice é que ele é #SoftwareLivre, como em #Liberdade, não #Preço / #Grátis. 2º: rapidez. 3º: #Excel'ent quando posso usar OpenDocument.
@libreoffice I love #LibreOffice because of its wide range of uses and its high compatiblity; LO is a great Libre Software which works very well on GNU/Linux. I'm using it daily since i switched from Win** to Debian some years ago
TBari@libreoffice I love #LibreOffice because it's free. It's not that I wouldn't pay for it (I do sometimes), but because it's free, installation is so simple. Never have to worry about licenses, using it on multiple computers, moving to a new OS, whatever. I really grinds my gears why many home users still prefer a pirated you know what.

@libreoffice been using #LibreOffice since the early days and has been a loyal companion for all these years.
Even in my corporate environment that forcibly uses Win* and Office, I can just snuggle a portable installation and confortably use my templates in #opendocumentformat for everyday tasks at work.
I really like it because, it's free, predictable and it's against any task that you can imagine.
With #linux is just a match made in heaven.
Thanks all for the hard work ❤️

Riccardo Sacchetto, B.Sc.@libreoffice I use #LibreOffice simply because it's free software that just works. And works well.
I can install it on every device and OS, producing documents in open formats that will work forever without depending on a specific suite or developer will.
Furthermore, LibreOffice has a fantastic community to interact with and ask questions to receive actual help and suggestions.
Thanks for the great work! ❤️

I love #Libreoffice for a number of reasons:
Because it is completely #FreeSoftware.
Because I don't have to pay for its full version.
Because it is no Cloud stuff.
Because it is fully GDPR-compliant, while MSh*it isn't.
Because it is simpler to use LibreOffice than doing everything in #LaTex.
The #LibreOffice suite is one of my most important tools since my school days. You helped me to reach university.

Paula PopperI extremely dislike MS everything. I had been using a cloud based suite attached to my email. What I really needed was a robust suite that I can use offline that won't make my computer lag and is readable by most of the world. I found it in #LibreOffice and absolutely love it! 💕
mingu@libreoffice I love #LibreOffice because it's just works, and works great as well! It don't have features I don't need, like cloud service. And it is a #freesoftware.
Brìghde@libreoffice I mainly use #LibreOffice writer, and I love the layout of the program, that you can adapt almost everything to your needs, and especially the look of the writing on the screen. I actually enjoy writing with this program. ✍️
@bgLy0 Glad you enjoy it 😊
Chaslinux@libreoffice cut and paste from the web, especially for tables, works really well. #LibreOffice

@libreoffice I love #Libreoffice because it's opensource and platform agnostic. Those 2 are key and should be mandated as default for all software used in/by public institutions. ❤️

I use #libre office because it's free and just as good as W**d. And I don't think it's tracking my every word. Used it happily for over a decade and not looking back 😊

Ariella@libreoffice I love #LibreOffice for the ease of use, the richer features, the consistent media alignment and reliable SVG support, open document format, easy to install, easy to distribute, most consistent multi-platform experience, great documentation with real-world examples, helpful community and there's no stupid subscription! I prefer donating and have several times. Going to again later this week.
Thanks LibreOffice team! This is great software I never want to be without!
@ellabellafull Thanks so much for your donations! 😊
Bindestrich@ellabellafull save for the parts related to it being a gratis software, my experience is quite the opposite. When you say richer features, what are you comparing it to and what features do you mean?
@Bindestriche The CSV opening workflow is nice. Calc goes straight to the data import dialog. Other spreadsheet apps first open in the default view and then you have to dig to find the data tab/submenu.
I find the handling of full page bleeds to be smoother and have more reliable anchoring than other apps like Word.
The SVG setting and cropping from within Writer is so good.
The PDF exporting from Writer produces more consistent layouts than I get with Word or Wordperfect.
@Bindestriche Check my pins for the PDF of Ethan Winer's book. That project was done in Writer + Calc + Inkscape. Turned out really nice. It was a joy to put together.
@Bindestriche What trouble have you had? Find some bugs to report?
@ellabellafull there is no way to search for functions like in windows, impress has none of the autoalign features, writer randomly crashes. Unfortunately, I can not make it crash reliably, so no bug report. Also, calc can't open 100mb CSV even with 32gb of ram. Don't get me wrong it's still my goto sofware, I don't like the idea that a company could lock me away from my docs any day without warning.
@ellabellafull I really would enjoy collapsible headlines also.
Polly Kraisus@Bindestriche since LO 7.4, you can find the Outline Folding view in Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > Outline Folding :)
@stragu cool, they should have made more buzz about this! thank you so much for the info
@Bindestriche Eek! I’ve been lucky so far somehow then, opening up 70MB CSVs in Calc. I’m using a mid-range Dell laptop with 16gb ram running Windows 11 so it doesn’t seem like a memory issue.
Do you have a large number of columns? Mine tend to only be 10 or so, so the data size is mostly row count.
@Bindestriche I’d like to learn more about function searching. You mean you search for a string pattern of “=SUM”?
I think I see what you mean. I just made two workbooks, one in Excel, other in Calc, and did some cols with values and then a couple =SUM() functions.
Then I went CTRL+F and searched for string “SUM” in both apps. Excel jumped to where the function was located. Calc couldn’t find it.
Looks like a feature gap!
@Bindestriche I admit to having never used Impressed and I see what you mean about the missing alignment guides. Sure, I can select a group of objects and right click to align or distribute, but the visual cues would definitely be fewer steps.
There is a grid alignment feature at least.
@libreoffice is that a requested and planned feature for a future release? Alignment guides during mouse drag? Or is it there and we’re not triggering it somehow?
@ellabellafull @Bindestriche Hi! You can check to see if there's an enhancement request already on https://bugs.documentfoundation.org – And if not, add one. Of course, our community has very limited resources though, so to get a feature more quickly, you can give us a hand! 💪
@Bindestriche *Impress (I said Impressed haha — typo)
@Bindestriche oh and you can search for commands in Help > Search Commands.

Because sometimes i need something newer than #Lotus #AmiPro... 😀
And obviously i like the idea of #Open #Source... and open standards are the only way.
And... the roots of #LibreOffice are going back to my "neighborhood"... 😉
ana ♀️🇵🇸@libreoffice i use #libreoffice because its free and works better than anything similar I have tried.I've used it since it was called OpenOffice on the early 2000s and never looked back
