LibreOffice's selection of templates might seem a little limited compared to Microsoft's, but this is easily remedied by the huge collection of downloadable options available in the project's online repository (opens in new tab). The open source suite lacks Office's built-in cloud storage option, but that's easily remedied by installing the Dropbox desktop software (opens in new tab), which gives you instant access to your account as though it was a folder on your PC.
Both have their advantages the NotebookBar will make switching from Microsoft Office more natural, while the old-school layout means everything is visible at a glance, and you can navigate easily using a keyboard rather than a mouse if you prefer.īeyond that, there's little difference between Microsoft's productivity toolkit and LibreOffice. LibreOffice offers a choice of interface styles: a traditional system of icons and toolbars, and an optional NotebookBar (similar to the ribbon used in Microsoft Office since 2007). One that makes it very hard to justify paying a lot of money for the competitor.
That makes it not so much a free alternative to Microsoft Office, but an actual rival.
