Excellent this comparative table that we can find in the The Document Foundation Wiki, where we can see the differences between LibreOffice 4.0 y Microsoft Office 2013. It has no loss.

How I miss the handling of graphics and images that WordPerfect had …… It is irrelevant, but I wanted to express it.
For those who have not tried it or have not had this situation, in Dropbox I leave 2 PPS with password that can be opened with MSOffice but not with LibreOffice, OpenOffice or Calligra, if I solve this I do not depend on M $ Office anymore.

If someone manages to make it work, please comment. For work and study reasons, I need to see presentations and some come with a password; I don't need to edit them, just view them and I don't want to use PowerPoint viewer or MSOffice by Wine, those are not solutions but alternatives.
I think the only solution is to open the pps with the powerpoint and then save it without a password, or request that they be sent to you without a password. I understand that PowerPoint uses an encryption system in passwords that is not supported by any of the free Office. I imagine it will be a matter of patents, closed source, and etc, etc.
regards
When opening with PowerPoint it only allows reading, there is no way to save, the option is not available, and sending with a password is precisely to prevent them from being modified, and I want to eliminate the dependency with Microsoft.
Honestly, the development of both LO, OO, and the KDE Suite is amazing, but these days free suites are a few steps behind in some things and many steps behind in others. While it is important where they exceed the MSO, it is as important or more important in many that do not exceed it. (The 1024 columns of the Calc, I do not know if it is to laugh or cry for example)
As for the comparative table, without telling a lie if I see it a bit tricky, and bringing the ember to the sardine of free software. For example, putting that Supports firefox themes only to assign a green box to LO seems like a blast. And like that, there are a few more, some of them and others that I do not know if they have not been included due to ignorance or because red was not so interesting in the LO part.
With all this I do not defend or defend MSO, I use and will continue to use LO or OO (For some things this is better and the Apache ones are doing their job very well), I just try to be objective and tell the truth to say them all.
In short, for me, the comparison table is a crude attempt to imitate the marketing techniques of companies like MS.
The same thing has happened to me, without defending M $ I see that it is a somewhat far-fetched table. For example, the comparison of Base and Access. They mention mysql and thunderbird as major feature but dbase, outlook and paradox as minor. The option of the free Access runtime that allows you to use the database without having the entire package installed does not appear either.
I love Libreoffice and the effort behind it, but I'm not going to defend it any more for tables specifically designed to keep it in good stead.
Strongly agree, deviltroll.
Indeed the table, which is still great, seems to me taken with tweezers. Above all, there are details in terms of appearance and usability where, from my point of view, MSO is much superior (for example, when selecting a text in Word, a small editing menu appears in that place on the screen). Call me superficial if you want, but I miss this kind of thing at LO.
I also miss that little menu you mention; and although in LO they have improved in compatibility, it has happened to me that having made a .doc in LO and open it in M $ O; some final paragraphs or lines of a page remain on the next page, and I use the same spacing, the same font and size, and the same margins. In LO, OO, they look good, Calligra "decalibrates" it (it's a disaster) and in M $ O it doesn't respect the original design in some cases.
I still find the table skewed.
There are thousands of Libre Office options that are striking that are not available in MS Office, for example, spell checking in excel cells.
But at the same time there are things that are not even mentioned in the table, such as Office Open XML support (the famous docx, xlsx and pptx).
Regarding the 1024 columns in calc, it doesn't seem so serious to me. But since Writer does not support paragraphs that exceed 65534 characters, I had no idea about this limitation and it seems totally absurd to me.
I have not checked the source code, but the limitation in the length of the paragraph seems to me caused by a 32-bit character counter, changing it to 64-bit would be enough, but they probably have not done it to maintain compatibility with older software or hardware ( or also by laziness)
Actually, if we get to the basic use, libreoffice is probably enough, but when we have to compare something like BASE and MS Access, libreoffice remains in its underpants ..., time to time.
The table is beautiful, but you have to be stupid to believe that libre office is better than ms office, it is simply basic for those who do not know how to use the suite, since it is enough to have a use of the style options, tables of contents and headings , to see that the free alternative went to the garbage can, needless to say in the case of macros in excel or when you use visualbasic to generate functions and other operations ... the same as access, even visio, has long been a tool one notch higher.
The only tools that I find garbage inside the office is the cute one note, and the complicated (many options for nobel users) and at the same time too simple (very few options for advanced users) project.
I think no one has said that LibreOffice is better than MSOffice. The table only mentions deficiencies in one and the other .. 😉
It is clear that there are fanaticisms on both sides.
Both LO and MSO have good tools for generating tables of contents (or any other type of index). But the LO tools have many more options and are much more customizable.
Where it falls is in the bibliography tool (a type of index), bibus helps a lot, but still it is a system that leaves much to be desired
The caption is just a text generally right-aligned and italicized, found under the title of some documents, I don't think a special tool is needed to make captions.
Libre office is a pretty good solution, it always surprises its followers, butooooo like everything always a step behind MsOffice, sometimes they get ideas from the bottom of their sleeves but others are left behind for a while, MSO already comes with packages included that LO or OO does not bring them and I do not know if he will have them one day, anyway the new representative of MSwindows I do not think he will rise much. for problems that are characteristic of the dark lord, my regards and I repeat to the admins of the site: Elav and Kckagegara.
WTF? You here? Na lie .. I don't think so ..
WTF !!! 0_0… do you already have internet access? 😀
From the table I have no comments, I think it is a show set up to idealize the LO.
I understand both parts of this discussion, we will always be human and as much as in a store, all users choose what best suits us to work. I am a defender of the opinion of each person and their decisions, I would never try to force anyone to use one program or the other; one operating system or another. People should be free to choose what we like, if we want to pay the W8 because we like it and we feel comfortable because it should not be a reason for any discussion. I particularly think that LO and OO are the result of a formidable job and I admire what they do so that people can have a more or less competitive option with M $ Office. I have seen free software grow and I have always used it and I am satisfied with its performance, although it still has a long way to go and many many things to improve.
They should post a translated image. Very good comparison.
