Switch to LibreOffice

You already know how to write a letter, fill in a spreadsheet, and put together a few slides. You learned it in a program that now wants a subscription. LibreOffice does the same everyday work on Windows, Mac, and Linux without one, but the first hour can be rough: commands are not where you expect them, the save prompt asks about formats you have never thought about, and a document looks different on someone else's computer. This book gets you past that hour and into real work. You will set up LibreOffice so it feels familiar, choose file formats that open cleanly for the people you work with, and learn the habit that makes everything easier: let styles, templates, and cell references do the formatting and the math for you. You will build a letterhead, a multi-page document with headers, page numbers, and a table of contents, and a spreadsheet that totals, filters, charts, and summarizes itself. You will turn your numbers into a short presentation, share files with people on other office software without surprises, and export anything final as a PDF. No programming and no guesswork. Just an office you own.
