LibreOffice 4.0.0 – Final
LibreOffice is a comprehensive, professional-quality productivity
suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich
applications for all your document production and data processing needs:
Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation
is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and
developers. Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice.
Calc
tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you’re
weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it
to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring
transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes
easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external
databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce
statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number
of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar,
pie, X-Y, and net – with the dozens of variations available, you’re sure
to find one that suits your project.
Impress is the fastest and
easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning
animation and sensational special effects help you convince your
audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the
standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues’
and bosses’ attention by creating something a little bit different.
Draw
lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a
thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line
diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations
and special effects. It’s as simple or as powerful as you want it to be.
Base
is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can
seamlessly integrate your existing database structures into the other
components of LibreOffice, or create an interface to use and administer
your data as a stand-alone application. You can use imported and linked
tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many
other data sources, or design your own with Base, to build powerful
front-ends with sophisticated forms, reports and views. Support is
built-in or easily addable for a very wide range of database products,
notably the standardly-provided HSQL, MySQL, Adabas D, Microsoft Access
and PostgreSQL.
Math is a simple equation editor that lets you
lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or
scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the
most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed
correctly. E=mc2.
LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF
file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you’re sure can
be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating
system.
There is a large base of satisfied LibreOffice users
worldwide, and it is available in more than 30 languages and for all
major operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux
(Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Mandriva, Suse, …).
