LibreOffice Impress is a good replacement for Powerpoint (according to my limited use at least.) I even found that LibreOffice Calc to be on par with Excel (again, according to my limited use.) It does not create a new section pages like section does in Word 2007. It just creates a section 'block' which can be called from another LibreOffice document or can be used within the same document.
For example, the sections thing that I mentioned above -> sections in LibreOffice does not do what sections in Word does. I found LibreOffice Writer not very easy to catch on if you are used to the Microsoft Word way of doing things. So go ahead and try LibreOffice yourself to see if its way of doing things is for you.

I believe both these books/resources are free to at least download and use.

A very good book that outlines this is Bruce Byfield's Designing with LibreOffice () and the excellent articles on the Full Circle Magazine () (A link to the Full Circle Magazine's LibreOffice special edition -> ) While most of the features are present, LibreOffice has a very different approach to do things. LibreOffice is free to download and use on Windows and Linux, and it offers a consistent feature set in both. The only benefit of Office Online is the ability to create SmartArt in the online version of Powerpoint that can be then downloaded and inserted as an image in your own presentations.Ī popular alternative is LibreOffice which is incidentally preinstalled in most modern Linux distros. I was not able to even insert a section break in Office Online. I am not an expert in using Excel, though I am able to create basic worksheets, but nothing fancy.Īnd, Office Online doesn't count yet. I am mostly a Word user and I have used Powerpoint intermittently. So, I was looking for an alternative that would have a consistent feature set and be as close to using Microsoft Office. For example, the Ubuntu workstations have LibreOffice, while some Windows workstations have free WPS office. But, many do not and are using a variety of other solutions. Fortunately I do have it on my workstation. Why? Because installations of Microsoft Office at my work place is restricted to only those who really need it. Please view the post at to view/download the files.Ī few weeks ago I was looking at alternatives to Microsoft Office. Edit (15 July 2019): I have tried to make a similar document/template in LibreOffice Writer 6.1.6.
