LibreOffice 4.4 office suite is similar to Microsoft Office

Intuitive, simple to use, and offering modern design," these are the adjectives that can give the office suite that comes just below Microsoft Office. LibreOffice has repeatedly been cited as an interesting alternative to the popular office suite of technology giant, and illustrates why you should be curious to see what the open source software offers.

Especially since the non-governmental organization The Document Foundation, which represents the LibreOffice community project, has updated its office suite, numbered 4.4, which turns out to be the ninth major release after only four years four months of existence for the future.

It is interesting to note that a revision every six months was introduced in 2013, so it's no big surprise that LibreOffice 4.4 was announced. But it's not as long as one has the right to minor changes.

Indeed, you will find many changes in design and you will have various improvements in the user experience. The interface is pretty, and packed full of advanced features, among which include support for OpenGL transitions in Windows.

For users of OS X, the monochrome theme Sifr opened in version 4.2 has been "extended" and is now the default. The sidebar is smoother than before, and will launch the text applications, and Presentation Binder, very quickly. The Document Foundation has done its best to ensure that LibreOffice is approaching its rivals, adding new import filters for Adobe PageMaker, MacDraw and MacDraw II and activation of the ability to digitally sign PDF files during the export.

Two new policies were imported, called Caladea and Carlito, and are intended to replace the font Calibri and Cambria famous, and this new version tries to exterminate bugs at the opening of OOXML files. Menu bars are all redrawn, status bars and rules are more manageable, the color picker supports multiple palettes, and media capabilities are extended in Windows, OS X and Linux.

In a word, it's huge. It's more a pretender to Microsoft Office.
