Another feature you may not know about! You can add a navigation panel for switching slides while viewing a presentation. In the menu: Slide Show ▸ Slide Show Settings ▸ Show navigation bar. (Added in LibreOffice 7.6 😊)

The news of Microsoft adding all the AI crap to Windows and Office has never made me more pleased to be using Linux and LibreOffice. That decision looks more correct with each passing year.

@hankg I've used LibreOffice for years. I won't load Microsoft Office. LibreOffice is truly excellent. FWIW I run a home Linux file server.

Eine Kollegin möchte in Karos und Linien z.B. für Prüfungen erstellen. Bisher macht sie es über Tabellen und Linien zeichnen.
Mein Vorschlag war, ein Rechteck einzufügen mit Hintergrund Schraffur mit dem gewünschten Linien-Abstand (Karos oder Linien). Damit kann sie je nach Platzbedarf das Rechteck mit den Linien vergrößern/verkleinern. Das geht mit .In Word finde ich diese Anpassungs-Möglichkeit leider nicht.
Oder gibt es einen anderen sinnvollen Weg in Word?

Here's another handy feature you might not know about! If you're working on a long document and want to focus on the body text, uncheck View > Whitespace in the menu, and headers, footers and page breaks disappear: https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/swriter/01/show_whitespace.html

Hiermit möchte ich #LibreOffice mal ein Kränzchen winden: Seit den 2000er Jahren benutze ich die freie Office-Suite. (Vor dem Fork war es #OpenOffice) Privat, wie geschäftlich. Die Schriftartenersetzung ermöglicht mir Vorlagen, die platformübergreifend funktionieren. Der mächtige Text-Importer von Calc begeistert mich im Gegensatz von #Excel immer wieder aufs Neue. Vielen Dank, liebe Opensource-Gemeinde, für die tolle Software!

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 ?

@itsfoss

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. #LibreOffice, #Zotero, #Firefox, #Thunderbird, #Qoppa #PDFStudio, ...)

2nd: Is your computer/notebook and your printer etc. well supported by #Linux? 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.
