The most recent version of LibreOffice is 6 but earlier versions may be the standard download on some versions of Linux. LibreOffice Write, Calc and Impress are automatically loaded on the installation of most Linux versions. The other LibreOffice applications, Draw, Base Math, etc. software can be loaded application by application or as a complete package. All are available in a number of different language interfaces. LibreOffice applications can save data to a number of different formats including pdf. The software provides a full range of tools, however,power users of the equivalent MS Office tools will find gaps in tools provided. The latest version of LibreOffice for Linux, Windows or Apple is available at http://www.libreoffice.org/ for the complete software or any components. Documentation and users' manuals can be downloaded from https://documentation.libreoffice.org/en/english-documentation/
LibreOffice Write: Resembles a slightly older version of MS Word. The user interface is straightforward. The data can be saved either in the LibreOffice format or one of the MS Office word processing formats.
LibreOffice Calc: This software also operates like a slightly older version of Excel. Data can be saved either in the LibreOffice format or one of the many Excel formats as well as generic format (like CSV--Comma Separated Values.) This application also reads and writes dbf files (not supported in Windows) which is useful in dealing with "attribute" tables in GIS shapefiles. The creation of graphs is straightforward, but somewhat different from Excel and may require some getting used to.
LibreOffice Impress: This programme is the "PowerPoint" equivalent of the suite. It allows files to be saved in the LibreOffice format as well in various versions of PowerPoint.
