Version: 7.3.5.2
After having installed the Swedish hyphenation, I tried myself at setting the folder for my documents, but when I tried doing it for the first time, the document landed in the Applications folder on the internal HD. This annoyed me so much, that I had to uninstall this software, the 7.3.5 with the German language file. Goodbye, LibreOffice!

What downloads by default is the Intel x86 version. The Apple Silicon ARM (M1, M2) version can be chosen for download via the interface HERE: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/?type=mac-aarch64&version=7.3.5&lang=en-US

I do use MS Office (2016) but one thing that always irked me is that MS Office refuses to open really old files e.g. Word documents created around the turn of the millennium. Turns out LibreOffice opens these without issue and can subsequently save them in docx format. That capability has saved my bacon quite a few times!

LO 7.3.4.2 Calc Shows cursor only when double clicked on my Mac M1 OSX 12.4. Arrow keys do not shift focus, instead tab key shifts focus from cell to highlight row/column labels and the cursor disappears. After shifting with the tab key, the arrow keys will function to shift the highlighted row/column labels.

@Developer. Please fix erratic behaviour of the spell-checker. It constantly reverts to mostly Italian, but auto-switches to other languages too. My system default is English (UK) and I set the document default to English (UK) to no avail. I've tried a number of checks, but Writer keeps auto-switching ... Please help.

If you go the developer website you choose to download the Apple Silicon version! So if you have M1 variate then download Silicon version from developer web site! It runs great!

Version: 7.3.0.3
Just updated to V7.3 on M1 iMac, OS12.01, and the print command is non-functional. The File/Print Preview... shows the text, but when the Print icon or File/Print is selected, the inset preview shows a blank page. Printing a PDF does the same. Had to revert to v7.2 to restore function.

Been using the software for years, but this time, they lied. It says Mac OS 10.10 is required, but this new version needs Catalina or higher.

Version: 7.2.5.2
An update was done on my Mac yesterday, MacOS Monterey.
Now LibreOffice won't even open.
What can be done to fix this??

Version: 7.2.5.2
NOTE: LibreOffice now has an Apple Silicon version (aka ARM) for M1 Macs. The default download is the Intel x86 version. You can download the ARM version via the "Choose your operating system" popup menu at: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

Version: 7.2.1.2
Excellent piece of software - been using it extensively daily for >10 years; better than MS Office (which I try from time to time for comparison) in my opinion. I've customised the UI/icons to look more Mac-like (much like neooffice) and it looks great

Version: 7.1.5.2
Complaint: LibreOffice doesn't know it has an update. It's a week after the update's release. - - I'm in v7.1.4.2, go to the Help menu and select "Check for Updates...". LibreOffice says "LibreOffice 7.1 is up to date." Except it's NOT. I'm looking at the v7.1.5.2 update I just downloaded from their website. The new version is dated July 17th. Today is July 24th. That's a week later and LibreOffice still has not-a-clue that it's been updated. Not good. Wake Up please!

Curiously, the developer does not understand the importance of a beautiful icon.

Great app for basic usage if you don't want to pay for MS Ofice!

Version: 7.1.2.2
I love the fact that it opens really old Mac word processing files which are otherwise unreadable (MacWritePro for example). It is a large program, but that is ok. For most of MS Word files, I am still using the 2008 version.
Dec 26 2020
Version: 7.0.4.2
Thank you and goodbye LibreOffice! The latest update has made me very disappointed, because you have dropped the hyphenation in Swedish in the German version, i.e. I have the menus in German and write in Swedish.
