Next week, #LibreOffice 26.8 will bring an improved tabbed user interface. But nobody is forced to use it – the classic menu+toolbar still remains.

Euro-Office: sovereign in name only, or in reality too?
The announcement of the Euro-Office is welcome news. The coalition is credible, the governance is sound and the timing is perfect. Europe needs office software, and we are delighted to see such significant players allocating resources to make it happen.
However, we have a question. It is not meant to be hostile, but it is the only question that matters.
What is the native document format of Euro-Office?

Open Letter to European Citizens
The door to digital sovereignty is open, please come in
We ask European citizens, and through them those who govern European countries, to understand one important thing: the door to digital sovereignty does not open simply by choosing different software, but by understanding what sovereignty actually entails.
It requires open document formats, open fonts, continuity of expertise, and honesty about what "open" means.

Well yes, Linux distros usually include the Gtk/Qt integration too, so the old-looking VCL interface should hardly ever come up. That's why there's no need to update it. But yes, there is an argument that when the desktop integration package is missing, LibreOffice should alert the user (while showing the old-looking VCL interface).

2026-03-16 06:57:58 UTC

- reply

Oh, LibreOffice shouldn't look like that at all! You are missing a vital desktop integration package for your distro. Search for "libreoffice-gtk" or similar in your package manager...

Yes, the documentation needs improving. As mentioned, it's made by volunteers (like so many things in the LibreOffice project) and without knowing who told you it is "perfect" it's hard to fix the situation. But thank you anyway for trying. Please don't go on one forum response – the volunteers know there is huge room for improvement, and would really appreciate help in the future!

Of course it is! It's a great solution for businesses and large organisations, and we strongly recommend it for anyone who needs long-term support and custom features. But we (The Document Foundation) get a lot of requests from users, organisations and others to provide an online version too – at least the core technology of it – and we want to be active in this area as well.

Hi! No, .xlsx isn't part of the Open Document Format, and there is no such thing as the Open Document Foundation. (There is The Document Foundation, the non-profit behind LibreOffice). Microsoft Office/365 does support ODF though – if only they used it by default. Hope that clears it up!

The EU’s Open Source Software Strategy calls for reducing dependency on proprietary technologies. But for feedback on the Cyber Resilience Act, they're asking for feedback in .xlsx format!

Thanks! We've been here since 2019, of course, and just as active here as anywhere else 😊

We've been on X/Twitter for many years, but it's time to reduce our activity there and instead promote Mastodon as our main social media channel now. So we've done just that: https://x.com/LibreOffice/status/2026204949760131158 – Welcome to all our new followers here 😊

If you need the editor working, please help us to make it happen! We are a volunteer-driven, community open source project with limited resources. We'd love to have a more powerful Android app too – but we need help!

The #LibreOffice community was at FOSDEM 2026, to talk to users, answer questions, and encourage people to join the project. And we had merch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVntb-83BMo

17 February 2026 marks the 14th anniversary of The Document Foundation’s recognition as a non-profit organisation under German law.

Today, we celebrate this important milestone and prepare for further growth.

Open Document Format (ODF) is the standard format in #LibreOffice. Now there's version 0.13.0 of the ODF Toolkit – a community-driven, open-source library for creating, scanning, and manipulating ODF files: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/02/11/odf-toolkit-project-announces-release-0-13-0-last-release-supporting-jdk-11/ #foss #opensource #freesoftware

No need to apologise 😉 We know it was in jest. But we get a lot of questions like "Why do you work on feature X and not feature Y?" and there's always a reason! The more people that help out, the better 😊

I think you missed the point 😉 We write everything manually. You made an incorrect assumption 😉

We are a volunteer-driven, community open source project. Obviously someone wanted the feature, otherwise nobody would have volunteered to implement it 😉 If you want other features, feel free to help our volunteers, or fund a developer! Thank you!

New in #LibreOffice 26.2: When natural sort is enabled in the Sort options dialog, there is an additional option to treat decimal separators as regular characters. This allows sorting IP addresses, for example, even if the locale has a dot as the decimal separator.

Glad you like it! 😊 As you know, we're a community open source project with limited resources, so we focus on the desktop app. But anyone who wants more improvements to the mobile version can help our volunteers, or consider funding developers: https://www.documentfoundation.org/certified-developers/

You know, there's indeed a lot of AI slop out there, so we understand if you're getting fatigue. But you could just ask us: there's actually a hard-working team of real people at TDF (and hundreds of volunteers) creating real software and content.

LibreOffice is more than just software – it's a worldwide community doing cool things together. Here's what we did in January: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/02/09/libreoffice-project-and-community-recap-january-2026/ #foss #openSource #freesoftware

Ah, OK – if you can take a few minutes to report it to the QA community at https://bugs.documentfoundation.org with details about your setup, they can investigate. Thanks!

We've had a reader app for Android for many years already: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/android-and-ios/ – Nothing planned for iOS, as we have limited resources, but if you want an iOS, please consider helping our community or funding a developer. Thank you!

Yes, fair point – we're also working on a video to summarise the end-user-facing features, so that should help!

It's our new stable branch (in that it won't change, with random new features in 26.2.1, 26.2.2 etc.) It will only receive bug and security fixes. The update checker will recommend it for all users after the first or second point release, but you can always get it directly from the website. Thanks!

Yes, LibreOffice has had a spellchecker for 15 years 😉

The Release Notes are a wiki page, maintained by the community, and we have limited resources – so if you can help to improve them in any way, we would be very grateful 😊
