The 5 best extensions for your LibreOffice that will improve its use

Although there are very good office suites, the truth is that LibreOffice is still the free office suite par excellence. This is due, among other things, to its strong customization and its quality / price ratio compared to other office automation packages on the market.

But despite the fact that LibreOffice is available to many, the truth is that few give it the professional performance it offers. In this case we are going to tell you five extensions that can be installed in our LibreOffice through its extensions and that will give us the possibility of obtaining that performance we are looking for.

AltSearch

The first one is an extension that notably improves one of the most basic functions out there : search for words. In this case, the plugin is called AltSearch and it allows us to improve the search fields as well as to have other functions that facilitate tasks such as replacing one word with another, etc ...

multi-save

Normally when we save a document we can save it in a format, but What if we want to save it in several formats? Well, the simple thing is to repeat the steps as many times as the formats we want to obtain. multi-save is a complement that Not only does it allow you to save your documents in the format you want, but it also allows us to do it all at once, without having to repeat the steps for each format, something interesting and useful for those who, for example, create the document and then have to create the pdf file.

Show Notes

ShowNotes is an extension that will allow us hide or show text notes in Calc cells. It is an extension that has not been updated for years but is very functional and interesting, especially to create spreadsheets with help or simple forms that the user fills in depending on one answer or another.

Calculator for Calc

If you are one of those who have to use the spreadsheet a lot, in this case Calc, surely this extension will be of great help because it shows you a current calendar to be able to use in the spreadsheets or simply know the current date. This extension is called Calculator for Calc. Also by double clicking on the date, it is inserted in the cell that we have selected.

Spell Checker

Last but not least, the last extension is a dictionary of the language we want to write. This combined with the activation of the grammar checker and the spell checker mean that we do not have any displeasure when publishing a document or printing a text that is of vital importance to us. In this case, to configure it we do not have to go to Extensions but to Options and from there to Language settings.

Conclusion on these extensions

These extensions are interesting and important but they are not the only ones that will give us the maximum performance of LibreOffice. In this case we can find more in the extensions option and also in the official LibreOffice website. A website where you can find more information about this or about anything related to Libreoffice.
