(There is also a database tool, as well as a mathematics formula writer.)It is capable of editing several versions of MS products and can save documents, spreadsheets and presentations in MS format. Functionality is pretty much the same as MS products, but there are slight differences between the key stroke commands. Oh. And did I mention it is free. Updates are delivered automatically, or you can select to download updates as they become available. I have been using Libra for the past 15 years as well as other open source products to avoid the MS charges and constant signing into MS
Just a minor (but important) correction: it's LibreOffice, not LibraOffice. Libre refers to the latin for "free" or "freedom." LibreOffice is a free office suite. Libra is an astrology symbol and completely unrelated.
