  • Feasibility Study: Migrating from Microsoft Office to Libreoffice in An
    Feasibility Study: Migrating from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice in an Academic Enterprise Environment By: Curran Hamilton, David Hersh, Jacqueline McPherson, Tyler Mobray Humboldt State University May 4th, 2012 Abstract This study investigates the feasibility of a migration from Microsoft Office to an alternative office suite at Humboldt State University. After investigating the market for viable alternatives, it was determined that only the open source LibreOffice might be mature enough to meet the needs of a complex enterprise. A literature search was done to learn more about the suite and its development community. Use cases were drawn up and test cases were derived from them in order to compare the functionality of LibreOffice with that of Microsoft Office. It was concluded that LibreOffice is a rapidly maturing and promising suite that may be a viable replacement in one to two years, but is not an acceptable alternative to Microsoft Office in the enterprise environment today. 1 1. Introduction Due to continually increasing costs associated with the CSU’s contract with Microsoft for its many products, including the Office suite, Humboldt State University decided to look into other office suites (preferably open source) that can perform acceptably in place of Microsoft Office (MS Office). The Information Technology Services (ITS) department hired a team of four interns (Curran Hamilton, David Hersh, Jacqueline McPherson, and Tyler Mobray) to determine if a successful migration away from MS Office was feasible enough to warrant further research. We explored other office products currently available, decided on candidate suites, and tested the candidates. Finally, we analyzed and reported on our findings.

  • Can Libreoffice and Apache Openoffice Be Alternatives to MS-Office from Consumer's Perspective?
    2016 2 nd International Conference on Social, Education and Management Engineering (SEME 2016) ISBN: 978-1-60595-336-6 "Make It Possible" Study: Can LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice Be Alternatives to MS-Office from Consumer's Perspective? Jun IIO 1,* and Shusaku OHGAMA 2 1Socio-informatics Dept. Faculty of Letters, Chuo University, 742-1 Higashinakano, Hachioji-shi, Tokyo, Japan 2Information Technology Dept. Information Systems Div., Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd., 4-5-33 Kitahama, Chuo-ku, Osaka-shi, Osaka, Japan *Corresponding author Keywords: Open-source software, LibreOffice, OpenOffice, Productivity suites. Abstract. There are many guidebooks which offer some instruction of using productivity suites, and most of them focus on Microsoft's Office (MS-Office,) because it is the dominant products in the market. However, we have some other productivity suites, such as LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice, as the alternative of MS-Office. Therefore, we investigated whether such software could be used properly, within the content of the guidebooks which are widely used. In this paper, the results of our investigation show that the interoperability of such software has already reached a tolerable level from a practical perspective. Introduction Recently, we can find in bookstores many books for reference that provide guidelines on how to operate productivity suites. However, most of them only focus on Microsoft's Office suites (MS-Office,) because it has the largest market share in the world in the productivity software market. On the other hand, there are some other options, such as LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice. In recent days, persons in businesses face some problems in using these productivity suites.

  • 7 Mail Merge and Related Operations
    ESSENTIAL LibreOffice: Tutorials for Teachers Copyright © Bernard John Poole, 2019. All rights reserved MAIL MERGE AND RELATED OPERATIONS 7 Form letters and mailing labels LEARNING OUTCOMES LibreOffice is an integrated suite of programs. This means that the different components of the Office software—Writer, Base, Calc, and Impress, for example—are all part of the same system. As a result, you can easily switch from one component to another, cut and paste data between documents and, above all, use a common set of tools with each of the applications. The steps required to edit, copy, arrange, print, format, cut and paste, and so forth, are more or less the same, whether you are in the word processor, drawing, database, spreadsheet or presentation components of LibreOffice. In Lesson 6 you were introduced to the LibreOffice Base database. In Lesson 7 you are going to apply what you have learned about databases to the task of creating form letters and mailing labels. The process is called Mail Merge and it is an important word processing skill with which every teacher should be familiar. You can merge data from a database into different types of LibreOffice documents to produce any number of versions of a standard document tailored to address individual recipients. This is especially useful when creating form letters, which are another type of template or stationery document. But you can also merge data into a spreadsheet (such as an invoice or other accounting document) or into a drawing document. You can create mailing labels, or any document that requires fill-in-the-blanks data.

You can use it instead of the not- free "Microsoft PowerPoint.." in "Microsoft Office..". 5 THE BEST FILE FORMATS FOR "LIBREOFFICE" TO DEFAULT TO ARE .doc, .xls, and .ppt For the best compatibility with "Microsoft Office..": Make "LibreOffice Writer" default to the .doc file format of "Microsoft Word..". Make "LibreOffice Calc" default to the .xls file format of "Microsoft Excel.." and Make "LibreOffice Impress" default to the .ppt file format of "Microsoft PowerPoint.." 6 STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR SETTING THE DEFAULT FILE FORMATS OF "LIBREOFFICE" 7 • Step 1: Start the "Control Panel".
