4 weeks ago	newpaul	4	Don't get me wrong, I have 3 pcs with Mint and would have 4 if one of my cats hadn't pissed on a nice & warm open laptop. But there is no practical use for everyone to keep saying that LibreOffice Writer is “better” than MS Word. Maybe better than Word 2003, and capable of matching Word 2007/2010 in many aspects, but not yet there. On a very immediate level, the customization paths are a tedious & redundant labyrinth. Backward stuff. The Review tools are still in a rudimentary state, and remain strangely hidden in the interface, even though I'm now able to move docx documents to and fro between MS-Word and LO-Writer keeping all the review info with no glitch whatsoever, in a professional environment. This is serious praise. Anyway, the MS Word Review layout is way ahead in features and productivity solutions. LO-Writer's proofing tools, as a whole, remain poor in comparison. I use LO-Writer in what I call the “Bauhaus Mode”, with no rule, no useless text boundaries, and no ugly toolbars. Just the basic menu. Nice. I was able to ditch Wine & an embedded Word 2007 to use LO-Writer exclusively in my Mint. That's how good it became. A simple request: if LO-Writer could create new empty documents locally, with a right click menu, that would make life easier to all those accustomed to other similar tools... and would be more intuitive.

1 month ago	Mintification	5	LibreOffice Writer does an excellent job at word processing. It has great compatability options, and is much cleaner than MS Word.
2 months ago	librelegal	5	LibreOffice is very reliable and updated regularly - I use Writer and Calc everyday for business purposes and am very impressed. Beste Office-Suite, regelmäßige Updates, nutzerorientiert, Kompatibilität auch mit MS-Office und Openoffice.org und obendrein eine neuartige Stiftung, die jedem Aktiven die Mitwirkung/Mitbestimmung erlaubt und garantiert

2 months ago	-Marina-	4	Great word processor. Much nicer to use than MS Word. It would be perfect if it only had synonyms in the right click menu. Pressing Ctrl+F7 and searching for the alternative affects my productivity rates. It's much more complicated than I used to with MS Word. Otherwise perfect app! :)

3 months ago	Statik	5	Love this program. Use it and the other parts of the suite almost daily. Very capable. Especially happy with how it works with Microsoft files from the office.
3 months ago	ldiego008	5	Muy bueno
3 months ago	omecoatl	5	Works great for me. I use it for my college essays all the time. I've been getting A's so the footnotes and endnotes work fine.
3 months ago	ahalin	4	FOSS office applications have come so far. LO 3.4 is a significant step up from earlier versions and OOo. The compatibility with MS Office is good; but still some formatting issues to resolve.
4 months ago	kiesaw	5	Using LibreOffice on Linux Mint 12!!!
5 months ago	PV250X	5	The best alternative to Word
