The document editor now allows you to work with the new types of references that can be useful for academic work: final notes and cross references.
Endnotes, which are references placed at the end of a section or at the end of the document itself, can be created and edited, and also become footnotes and vice versa; They can also be exchanged or removed with a single click.
Cross-references allow users to create links to other parts of the document they are working on: graphs, tables, bookmarks, and so on. They appear as links that take the reader to the referenced item.
By simply clicking on a reference, readers can easily find and jump to a table, image, graphic or any other element. Starting with this version, the ONLYOFFICE word processor automatically counts the lines in a document and displays the number next to each line of text.

In my Linux Mint installation I use Only Office as the default office suite. It does not have all the power that libre office can have, but for a standard user it is more than enough, it has greater compatibility with MS Office, and aesthetically it gives a thousand turns to Libre Office (although in the latter I imagine that for tastes, the colors)
