LibreOffice Writer ou OpenOffice.org Writer : une bonne alternative sous Linux ?

LibreOffice Writer, alternative Linux à OpenOffice.org Writer

Mis à jour le 1 novembre 2026

Notre avis

LibreOffice Writer is a strong replacement for OpenOffice.org Writer, especially for users who need reliable .docx and .odt support, modern PDF export, and active maintenance. It handles standard word processing tasks—formatting, styles, mail merge, tables—better than the deprecated OpenOffice.org. Since it's actively developed and integrates well with Linux desktops, it's ideal for home users, students, and small offices. Those relying on niche OpenOffice macros or very old document templates may need minor adjustments, but most will transition smoothly.

LibreOffice Writer opens .odt and .doc files created in OpenOffice.org Writer without issues. It handles most formatting, styles, and embedded images correctly, though complex layouts may need minor fixes. Exporting to PDF follows modern standards with password protection and metadata support. LibreOffice saves natively to .odt and can export directly to .docx, making sharing with modern Word users reliable. Files using deprecated OpenOffice.org filters may require manual review.
