We are working on multiple new features, one of them, the WebApps for Windows, Linux and Mac, a functionality that will be very useful for our LibreOffice Online instances integrated with Astian Cloud and a very interesting productivity suite. Coming soon

Mon coeur balance entre @ONLYOFFICE et @libreoffice pour l'édition de mes documents. Je teste en ce moment 8.0.1 (dans version snap sur ).

Je trouve des limitations à , pas insurmontables mais qui gâchent un peu la fête niveau comptabilité avec MS Word (exemples : les positionnements d'images et les "bullet points"), et OnlyOffice semble à première vue plus élégant dans son interface et peut-être bien aussi plus compatible.

Des retours d'expérience ?

1st: Have a look at cross-platform applications that are available on the current platform and Linux, and see if they are good for you (e.g. , , , , , ...)

2nd: Is your computer/notebook and your printer etc. well supported by ? Check the internet for it.

3rd: After switching: Look first for software in the distribution repositories and not on the websites of the projects. Install it from the distribution if available.

In LibreOffice, in the "View" menu, when "Field Shadings" is checked, non-breaking spaces (NBSP) appear grayed out, but narrow no-break spaces (NNBSP) do not. Is it possible to make narrow no-break spaces appear grayed out as well? And if yes, how ?

In Writer kannst du Rahmen miteinander verketten, so dass Text von einem zum anderen fließen kann, wie im Desktop-Publishing.

LibreOffice 24.2 (with new "year.month" version scheme) is our latest major release – but we're still maintaining the older 7.6 branch for a while longer. And today we're releasing 7.6.7, a minor update: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/05/10/libreoffice-7-6-7/

Oh man. has a command palette.

Boom 💥

I use libreoffice all day every day but still spend an unreasonable amount of time trawling through menus trying to find functions.

Noticed a redirect loop on the help.libreoffice.org website, but failed to find an appropriate address or page to report it (except for Bugzilla, which requires an account, and I see no "project" for the website there). Noticed a Mastodon contact though, maybe this will work. Or maybe somebody on Mastodon will point to an appropriate place to report website issues? Either way, it should be better to write here than to ignore.

@libreoffice, <https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/sdatabase/dabawiz02pgsql.html> redirects to <https://help.libreoffice.org/en-US/noscript.html> with a meta refresh, which then redirects to <https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/swriter/main0000.html> with the "location" HTTP header, which redirects back to noscript.html, as the first one did, and the loop goes on.

As another minor website issue report, icons are broken if pages are not allowed to set custom fonts. Some contrast ratios (e.g., in the footer) are very low, some elements (e.g., operating system choice on the "download" page) do not fit into the areas dedicated for them and overflow awkwardly if minimum font size is set (to 16, for instance). Some content (e.g., on <https://www.libreoffice.org/discover/templates-and-extensions/>) is simply unavailable with JS off, while with JS on it is just hidden behind an unnecessary click.

Cleaned up my menu, surprised I hadn't added the settings apps to the settings manager since I last wiped. Also, will be forever confused as to why applications in 'settings' don't automatically get added to the settings manager. Found a few old packages I could remove, including most of as I only use Calc and Writer.

I have often wondered why isn't more popular. Today I tried a very simple design with . Basically three rounded rectangles with texts of different alignments. Really nothing fancy.

I gave up in frustration after 20 minutes when rendered text alignments would not match the object's settings no matter what I try.

For a relatively new project, I would start writing bug reports. For something as mature as LibreOffice, if such basic features don't work, it's not for me.

What a better way to celebrate May the fourth than to spend it with the @libreitalia community at the ?

I am exhausted but immensely grateful and glad I had the opportunity to host my fediverse workshop with three classes of young and bright teenagers!

May the source be with you!
