Best Free Software

摘要

LibreOfflce is a free office suite that provides everything most people need. Writer (documents) and Calc (spreadsheets) are the two stars of the show, but it includes presentation, drawing, maths formula and database tools. The developers say version 6.2 of LibreOfflce provides "a familiar interface for users coming from proprietary office suites". Make no mistake, they're referring to Microsoft Office here. And the new Tabbed toolbar (available within the User Interface section of the View menu) does indeed bear more than a passing resemblance to Microsoft's version. LibreOfflce veterans will be pleased to hear the new design is optional - if you don't like it, you can revert to the old toolbar. Our only complaint is that once we changed to Tabbed, it wasn't immediately obvious how to get back to the old version. We eventually discovered you need to click the Menu button (far right), then select User Interface and then Standard Toolbar (see below).
