[tdf-discuss] LibreOffice in Tip & Advies Internet

Hi,

The current issue of Tips & Advies Internet (in Dutch; 
<http://lite.indicator.be/internet/home.php>; only subscribers can 
access the articles) contains a short article on LibreOffice: 
"LibreOffice: voor nog meer vrijheid" (i.e. "LibreOffice: for even 
more freedom").
The article mentions the following new features:
 * Writer: better layout and navigation; new and improved import for 
MS Works, Lotus Word Pro and WordPerfect documents;
 * Calc: smarter find & replace; handling 1 million rows; better 
border formatting for cells; sheet tab in new colour;
 * Impress: easier layouting for slides; presenter view;
 * Draw: import and edit SVG;
 * in general: import and export features for Google Docs and Zoho 
Office; easier to use print dialog; online help via WikiHelp.

The article does not mention the DOCX export feature.

The article concludes that the new features are not spectacular and 
that switching from OpenOffice.org is not a must. But LibreOffice is 
worth considering for persons who are looking for a free office 
suite. The article also points out that a portable version is 
available at <http://portableapps.com/apps/office/libreoffice_portable>.

Best regards,

Christophe
