EuroOffice for Android is gratis. Android OpenOffice has a pay-to-remove-advertising option. Those are the only two programs for Android that I've found, that can create/edit/save ODF file formats. When I went looking on the iPhone app store, I found a couple of programs that claim to read, and edit ODF file formats, but nothing that can save to that file format. :( ### I had totally forgotten about LibreOffice in the Cloud.

Is that a request for a list of the differences between: * The same version of LibO, on different platforms. (BSD, Mac, Windows, Linux, Chrome, etc.); * Different versions of LibO. ( 5.4.1, 5.4.2, 6.0 alpha, etc.); I'm in the middle of creating a spreadsheet, that lists the major new features of each version, from roughly OOo 3.0. Currently, I've got a skeleton for OOo, NeoOffice, Oxygen Professional, LibO, EO, and AOo. > One thing that should be listed should be related to what they can do as a > alternative to Windows Office. > I know a lot of people I worked with needed to have it do everything the did > with the version of MS Office This requires an ongoing series of either videos, or 1,500 word documents, stating the operation to be done, what it is called in MSO, what it is called in LibO, and how to do it. > of the people I was dealing with used the current version that was out around > 2013 or 2014. The current version is MSO 2016, or MSO 365, depending upon whether the individual is using the desktop version, or the cloud-based version. I have no idea how to do anything on either of those programs. > If you can show people that LibreOffice, or other forks, are a great > alternative to MS Office. Why one program is better than another program that provides similar functionality, depends upon the specific use case of the user. That said, perhaps with some modifications in one's work routine, a different program would be equal to, or more suitable than the program one currently uses. > Then add to the document what the tech magazine critics think of these forks. > The 2014 blog I've a major problem with current tech reviews.
