ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors, alternative Linux à OpenOffice.org Writer
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors is a solid replacement for OpenOffice.org Writer, especially for users who work with .docx files and want modern formatting, collaboration, and PDF tools. It handles standard word processing tasks well, with strong style support, mail merge, and table editing. The tabbed interface and plugin system add efficiency. However, long-time OpenOffice users focused on lightweight, simple text editing may find it heavier than needed. It’s best for those already using or moving toward cloud integration or needing frequent .docx compatibility.

Ouvrir vos fichiers OpenOffice.org Writer
ONLYOFFICE opens .odt and .docx files reliably, including those created in OpenOffice.org Writer. It preserves most formatting, styles, and tables. Export to modern PDF standards (including tagged PDFs) works well. Older .doc files from legacy OpenOffice versions may lose some complex layout, but conversion is generally accurate. If you regularly share .odt files with LibreOffice users, ONLYOFFICE handles them without issues.

Can ONLYOFFICE open old OpenOffice .sxw files?
No, .sxw (StarWriter) files are not supported. Convert them to .odt or .docx using OpenOffice.org or LibreOffice first.
Is ONLYOFFICE faster than OpenOffice.org Writer?
Generally yes — startup and document rendering are faster, especially with .docx files, due to a more modern codebase.
Does it support LibreOffice-style extensions or macros?
No, it doesn’t support LibreOffice/OpenOffice .oxt extensions. Macros are handled differently and are less compatible with legacy OpenOffice setups.
