In this tutorial, I will show you the basics of using LibreOffice Writer, so you can get started using all of LibreOffice for all of your office document needs. The only problem left is that its UI can be somewhat confusing to start using. That covers almost everything Microsoft Office includes. LibreOffice gives you the full package including Writer - the word processor, Calc - the spreadsheet application, Impress - the presentation engine, Draw - drawing and flow-charting application, Base - database and database front-end, and Math for editing mathematics. Plus, it supports the same file formats as Office. It provides many of Office's features, in software you can install on your computer (unlike Google Docs and other online alternatives), and it runs on Windows, OS X, and Linux. Despite the fact that Microsoft Office is among the most common commercial software products in most offices around the world, there's a wide variety of governments, organizations, and offices that have begun standardizing on the free and open-source LibreOffice.
