Compatible with multi os environments > > **Cons**: Compatibility with multiple operating systems including Linux distributions. > > I work on Windows Mac and Linux distributions and i found it difficult to manage on Linux as there weren’t much softwares that support that. ----- ### "Larger characters in slide get condensed after reopened." — 3.0/5 > **Steve** | *November 15, 2025* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Catching up as an alternate app to Microsoft office. It can open up ms office file without much problem. > > **Cons**: Found a few glitches on opening slide in .odp file: 1) if larger fonts are used, they seem to get condensed with character overlapping one another, totally unreadable. 2) unable to have section title for a group of slides like MS PowerPoint. Section can be expanded and collapse, and facilitate navigation during slide show. Am I missing any LibreOffice similar features? > > Quite a good impression, needs more effort to match up with ms office compatibility. Certain common features or functionality in MS office are not available. ----- ### "Ease of using Libreoffice" — 4.0/5 > **SREEREKHA** | *May 6, 2025* | 2128 | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Has good features and options to crete and edit the documents > > **Cons**: Not mamy options for graphical user interface objects > > Good and easy to create text documents has many options to edit and firmat the text ----- ### "Great free alternative to MS Office" — 5.0/5 > **Subhobrata** | *May 9, 2025* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's free to use, and very closely resembles Microsoft Office 365 in features. MS Office costs a lot of money to buy for multiple users. > > **Cons**: If you use Libre Office, you should convert the files to docx / pdf before sharing with someone, else receivers get confused as they are not familiar with the file extensions > > Satisfied with Libre Office - it saves a ton of money and is easy to use. Sufficient if you are just using Word, Spreadsheets and Presentations. ----- ### "LibreOffice - Good Software that doesn't require a subscription" — 4.0/5 > **Corinna** | *May 19, 2025* | Farming | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's free to download and offers all the products that Microsoft Office has this makes it a very good alternative to those whose subscriptions have run out or don't want to pay to be able to create multiple types of documents and spreadsheets. > > **Cons**: It is a little different than how Microsoft Office works so there is a bit of a learning curve. Going back and forth between the two (one at work and one at home) can cause some confusion and headaches sometimes. > > I like it over all. It has been crashing recently though. The document recovery tool comes in handy when that happens. ----- Page: 1 / 91\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/158981/libreoffice?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/158981/libreoffice) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
