•    Free to download
•    Integrates database tools

The Verdict
I had a good experience using the product. LibreOffice includes tons of features to deliver quality service for office and home needs. It is a free source application, which can be directly downloaded and used on your PC to meet daily requirements. It includes all tools that are analogous to MS Office application such as Base, Draw, Calc, Math, Impress, and Writer in terms of look and functionality.

Star Ratings
4.5/5

Review
If anyone wants to create and open documents, databases, spreadsheets and more, he/she first thinks of MS Office products, but you need to pay for that software. If you want to use the documents, spreadsheets, and presentations in free then try LibreOffice. This is not only a free alternative but a main competitor of MS Office. After the acquisition of OpenOffice.org by Oracle, this open source project was drived. Other popular competitors of MS Office are Google Docs, Apache OpenOffice, NeoOffice for Mac, and KOffice.

This is an open source, free application from Document Foundation. It covers all text and spreadsheet needs and supports all MS Office formats. The included applications are Base, Draw, Calc, Math, Impress, and Writer.

These look alike to the MS Office 2003 application, but in fact are small programs with good functionality and less system resource utilization. Multiple language support, PDF support, grammar check and easy interface are its major draws. If you are facing problems with your products and seeking help, contact on-demand online computer technical support provider for resolution.

Features
•    Small application
•    Attractive interface
•    Multiple language support
•    Better Writer tool
•    Worthier Calc for spreadsheet
•    Quality presentation tools
•    Native drivers
•    Good Filters
•    Bug Fixing capacity

Installation
LibreOffice is compatible with multiple OS such as Windows, Linux, and Mac. The installation process of Windows includes two parts: one for application and the other for online help. It supports up to 107 languages.

Download this open source application and run the installer. The installation process may take longer to complete as it has to install different items on your PC. LibreOffice don’t come included with the JRE -  Java based application - so it needs to be downloaded and installed separately. The installation as well as removal process is very clean, and works well as that of costly competitors. However, if you face issues during installation, get in touch with online computer support provider.

Interface
The interface is attractive, but not as smooth as MS Office. The main interface window consists of icons for easy access to various applications such as Text document, Drawing, Spreadsheet, Database, Presentation, Formula and Templates. The interface looks very similar to MS Office applications. If you are facing problems with your products, go for reliable Online Computer Technical Support services.

Performance
While using the application for the first time, it takes a lot of time to initiate. After that, the application runs smoothly. With icon-rich user interface, you have plenty of options to execute from. You can format and type text documents freely, but they get saved in .odt format automatically.

Other office applications work fine with this application. You can put passwords to Office documents; keep it clean with its bug-fixing capability. It has a built-in update checker that checks and prompts for available new updates. If your application is not performing up to the mark, contact third-party online computer support providers for instant resolution.

The application is small in size, has good performance, but requires Java runtime environment to work smoothly. The interface is pleasant to the eyes, supports multiple languages, PDF support, check grammar, offer full-functional office tools and native drivers.

MS Office includes networked constituents like Lync, SharePoint, Google Docs, Windows Live and a few more, but LibreOffice does not offer such networking tools.

In case of issues, always insist on third-party online computer support technicians for a fix.

Summary
LibreOffice is one of the best alternatives to Microsoft Office, offered free-of-cost. It delivers ready-to-use, fully functional office tools and resembles MS Office’s interface. The interface is easy and attractive, integrates database tools and supports Mac, Linux and Windows OS. It has bug-fixing capacity, multi-language support, PDF support, automatic update checker and easy office tools. Someone looking for free office tools can go with this application. The online computer support experts are available 24/7 over the phone and chat for your help.
