Several NFF discussions in the recent past about alternatives for Microsoft Office. Sometimes the conversrion from the open source code of Open Office or Libre Office to Microsoft documents is not 100% perfect, very long documents, complex database files etc. Always room for improvement, so the guys of Libre Office keep finetuning all the time. Now available version 7.2.
The German magazine "PCWELT" came with this announcement:
" The free office suite Libre Office 7.2 is available for download. In the development of the new version, the creators claim to have placed particular emphasis on improving "interoperability with Microsoft's proprietary file formats".
Libre Office 7.2 Community should now be able to open large files and DOCX and XLSX files from Microsoft Office faster or better. Interaction with older Microsoft DOC files should also work better now. Unlike Microsoft Office, Libre Office does not use a proprietary format to save files, but the Open Document Format (ODF).
The update is also said to improve performance in managing the caching of fonts and in opening presentations and drawings that contain large images. Libre Office 7.2 is now also available natively for the "Apple Silicon" processors. "
