OpenOffice.org Writer como alternativa Linux a Microsoft Office Word
Actualizado el
Nuestra opinión
OpenOffice.org Writer can serve as a practical replacement for Microsoft Word for users who need basic to moderate document creation. It handles most everyday tasks—text formatting, styles, tables, images, and mail‑merge—without cost and runs natively on Linux. Power users who rely heavily on advanced layout features, complex macro automation, or the latest .docx fidelity may find it lacking, but for students, small businesses, and anyone comfortable with the OpenDocument format it is a solid, free alternative.

Abrir tus archivos de Microsoft Office Word
Writer opens .doc and older .docx files, but conversion may lose some advanced formatting, especially complex tables, SmartArt, or tracked changes. Export to .docx is possible, though the result may not match Word’s layout perfectly. For best fidelity, save documents as .odt while working and use LibreOffice or an online converter for final .docx delivery if needed.

Preguntas frecuentes
Can Writer handle Word’s track changes?
It can display simple change tracking, but the feature set is not as comprehensive as Word’s and round‑tripping may lose some data.
Is there a spell‑check dictionary for multiple languages?
Yes, Writer includes spell‑check dictionaries for many languages, though grammar checking is limited to basic rules.
Will my macros from Word work in Writer?
No, Writer does not support VBA macros; you would need to recreate any automation using its own macro language or external scripts.
