Everyday tools / OPEN-SOURCE PROJECT GUIDE
LibreOffice
Big spreadsheet energy. No rent.
Documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. A full desktop office suite that gets down to business, offline too.
Why it matters
Keeps a capable, community-developed office suite available to anyone, with open document formats at its core.
The honest heads-up
Complex Microsoft Office layouts, macros, and advanced features may not transfer perfectly. It is a desktop suite, not a hosted real-time collaboration service.
Your first small step
Install it alongside your current suite and test copies of the documents you use most.
