That advantage was quickly erased, however, when LibreOffice also imported that feature. AOO was the first to introduce the sidebar, which I find to be surprisingly useful. AOO’s download is a bit smaller, but LO’s includes more stuff, I think. (I don’t understand why Apache OpenOffice hasn’t figured that out, yet.) Also, LibreOffice allows you to embed font info with their files if you are sharing them with somebody who doesn’t have that particular font Apache OpenOffice doesn’t.ĪOO might be slightly zippier than LibreOffice, though, and some of the dialogue boxes are a bit more attractive.
I’m giving the edge to LibreOffice, mainly because Apache OpenOffice had problems opening PDFs with embedded OpenOffice files and only LibreOffice allows you to save your files in Microsoft’s XML formats. (And, no, I still haven’t installed it on my new computer.) Which is better, LibreOffice (LO) or Apache OpenOffice (AOO)?įrankly, the two programs are still so similar, it’s a coin toss. Here are some of the things I learned in a month of not using Microsoft Office. The steamy dog-days of summer are over the leaves are beginning to change colors Labor Day is past and students are in school, so it’s time to end our Great, Frugal Summer-Doldrums Software Experiment.
