libreoffice icon foundation O lançamento do LibreOffice 6 marca um grande avanço desde sua primeira versão em 2011 e já possui uma enorme lista com inúmeras melhorias, novidades e funcionalidades equiparáveis (e até superiores) ao Microsoft Office!

O LibreOffice 6 é a mais nova versão da suíte de escritório livre e de código aberto produzido pelo time de voluntários da The Document Foundation. Com intermináveis aperfeiçoamentos e inúmeras novidades, esta versão principal do LibreOffice é capaz de superar a versão 2016 (ou 365) do Microsoft Office em alguns quesitos.

A palavra mandatória desta versão é: Compatibilidade. Agora é possível abrir, importar e trabalhar com arquivos AbiWord, PageMaker e QuarkXPress, além de exportar textos do Writer (editor de textos), diretamente para o formato ePub3 (ebook), sem contar com as melhorias de compatibilidade com documentos do Microsoft Office.

Além disso, o LibreOffice 6 conta com melhorias visuais, novos ícones Elementary, além da nova fonte Noto, incluída na instalação. Abaixo, temos listagens de funcionalidades principais e pequenas funcionalidades referentes ao pacote completo de aplicativos (Suite como um todo). Para comparativos específicos dos aplicativos (LibreOffice Writer vs Microsoft Word, LibreOffice Calc vs Microsoft Excel, LibreOficce Impress vs Microsoft PowerPoint e LibreOffice Base vs Microsoft Access), visite nossos outros artigos.
