LibreOffice is an office suite founded by The Document Foundation as a charity foundation based in Germany, where it acts as a successor to the once popular OpenOffice software, a predecessor once supported by the OpenOffice community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LibreOffice offers the following suites: Writer (a word processing suite which is used to write this document), Calc (a spreadsheet application), Impress (Presentation application), Draw (Vector graphics and flowcharts), Base (Databases), and Math (Formula creation and editing).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LibreOffice has its own file structure standard called Open Document Format (ODF). However, LibreOffice has worked on supporting a wide range of document formats over the years , including the most obvious being Microsoft Office formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LibreOffice attempts to replicate, or rather more accurately, support and provide features which are found in Microsoft Office suite, and to some extent, provide even more. Over the years, it appears that LibreOffice has grown in popularity and in usage. It is also important to note that LibreOffice is free and open-source software, which is maintained by developers who are either employed full-time, or contribute on a part-time basis.<\/p>\n<div class=\"3b0f01c982c849478b934f73fd22ce2a\" data-index=\"1\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-2361696526152498\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- apps responsive ads -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2361696526152498\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"4647471924\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is LibreOffice?
