LibreOffice

Why can they not include Swedish hyphenation in the LibreOffice? After all the updates of the MacOS, it seems that this software does not keep up with the system updates. The lacking of the Swedish hyphenation has been a problem for me, and today, I could not even make it running, so I have given up and uninstalled it. The last time I tried to use it, it could not even check the spelling in Swedish, only in English. I have used it regularly with the interface in German, but with Swedish spellchecker, which has worked earlier.

Here are the wonderful and long LibreOffice 7.6 Community: Release Notes: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/7.6 - - AND here is The Register's analysis of the update as well LibreOffice's past and future HISTORY: 'LibreOffice 7.6 arrives: Open source stalwart is showing its maturity. What comes next, and what the end of the 7.x release series really means.' https://www.theregister.com/2023/08/23/libreoffice_76_is_out/

The CORRECT Apple Silicon link for v7.5.4.2: https://www.libreoffice.org/donate/dl/mac-aarch64/7.5.4/en-US/LibreOffice_7.5.4_MacOS_aarch64.dmg

Just a word of warning: starting with version 7.5.0, LibreOffice requires MacOS 10.14 Mojave. Those with older Macs running 10.13.6 High Sierra or older should stick with version 7.4.5.

Just updated today (1/26/23) and although Macupdate says it is 7.4.5.2, the app says it is 7.4.5.1.

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.

this version, 7.3.1.3 does not work with Monterey 12.2.1.

I just downloaded LO 7.3.0 for Mac and am having printer issues... grrr.. I wanted to try out printing a word doc, but the print preview window shows nothing. And when I try printing without seeing the preview... it also prints nothing... What the hey..?? Please fix the bugs or tell me how to properly change the settings, thanks very much! jk

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!

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.

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

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/

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
