LibreOffice6.4.4.2

MY number 1 alternative to Microsoft Office. Frankly it handles docx files created by Word better than Word does. LibreOffice does not create 100s of styles behind your back that you don't discover until you try to import it into a Publishing app like Quark etc.

This product just keeps getting better and better and the documentation is now much improved over the last year or so. Given Microsoft new Office paradigm of pay forever for your own file (data) access, and LibreOffice being offered free, on all three major computer platforms, but support by donations (yes I donated) they only question is "What's keep you from abandoning Microsoft Office?" unless you are able to get it for free or work for Microsoft.

Decided to install Micro Office

Next time I read a blog, Hopefully it doesn't fail me as much as this particular one. After all, Yes, it was my choice to read, but I really believed you would probably have something useful to talk about. All I hear is a bunch of complaining about something you can fix if you were not too busy looking for attention.<a href="https://www.xfinitycomauthorize.com/">xfinity.com/authorize</a>

Ok very Simple. Im a builder and I do my own estimates. In Libre any Table you create can be used as a spreadsheet without opening a separate Program allowing you to change items in an instant and see the immediate total. This alone in my case blow Office out of the water.

It's fixed! After months of waiting and an not-good-enough first attempt, the Python script vulnerability in LibreOffice has for-realz been fully patched. It is CVE-2019-9854. Details are available here: https://www.libreoffice.org/about-us/security/advisories/cve-2019-9854/ - - Also patched was CVE-2019-9855, applicable only to Windows users.

While we wait for Son-Of-CVE-2019-9848 to be patched... It turns out that LibreOffice 6.3.4 (6.3.0.4) patched three further security flaws, as per new announcements released yesterday: • CVE-2019-9850 • CVE-2019-9851 • CVE-2019-9852 https://www.libreoffice.org/about-us/security/advisories/

So I wrote to the Devs and heard back from them, for which I am grateful. Here is their response:

"It is not incorrect to state that CVE-2019-9848 was patched in 6.2.5.2, but it is fair to state that it turns out the solution is not totally sufficient and there is an additional problem with the solution.

"A new advisory will be issued with a new CVE number for the follow-up issue when the solution is ready. We're working on making it available."

Stay tuned.... Oh and continue to apply the workaround on this latest version of LibreOffice.
