Greetings,
Libre Office was recommended to me by my book formatter as a preferable word processing program to Word, etc.
I am working on a historical novel, to be completed by the end of this year.
My questions to you: I get started using Libre in the next few days, when you upgrade to 7.6, will my manuscript be automatcally moved to the 7.6?
Should I start out with the test version?
Thank you,
Mary Dessein
Hello,
I’d recommend you to use the stable version from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download-libreoffice/ instead.
