The Document Foundation announces LibreOffice 6.0.2
Berlin, March 1st, 2018 – The Document Foundation (TDF) announces LibreOffice 6.0.2, the second minor release of the recently announced LibreOffice 6 family in just over a month, with around 50 bug and regression fixes. All LibreOffice users are invited to update either to LibreOffice 6.0.2 or to LibreOffice 5.4.5 to solve potential security-related issues.
TDF suggests to conservative users and enterprises to deploy LibreOffice with the backing of certified developers, migrators and trainers (an updated list is available at: https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/professional-support/). This is extremely important for the growth of the LibreOffice ecosystem.
Technical details about LibreOffice 6.0.2 bug and regression fixes are available in the change log: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/6.0.2/RC1 (fixed in RC1).

LibreOffice users, free software advocates and community members can support The Document Foundation with a donation at https://www.libreoffice.org/donate/. Donations help TDF to maintain its infrastructure, share knowledge, and fund the activities of local communities, such as the event in Surabaya, Indonesia, on March 23/25 (http://libreoffice.id) or the hackfest in Hamburg, Germany, on April 6/8 (https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Hackfest/Hamburg2018).
Several companies sitting in TDF’s Advisory Board (https://www.documentfoundation.org/governance/advisory-board/) provide either value-added LTS versions of LibreOffice or consultancy services for migrations and training, based on best practices distilled by The Document Foundation.
Hi, I am having trouble importing from MSword. Libre office seems to stretch the size of my table boxes and thus changes the text positioning of the rest of the document. I am using the latest version 6
Any ideas?
Hi David, if you don’t mind sharing the document(s) with our QA community, you could attach them to a bug report at https://bugs.documentfoundation.org so that we can investigate the cause. Thanks!
After upgrading to 6.0.2 (maybe 6.0 in general) it has come to my attention that one has to fish around to link to a newly created one ,ie, the highlighted item is not aligned with the position in a cell that takes you where you should go. Finding the position was considerably offcenter from the highlighted text of the link making for an untenable document. Previously created links on the same document created on versions prior to 6.0.2 (maybe 6.0 in general) link as expected. A copy of the dcoument was moved to my laptop with LO 5.X and “all” the links (old and new) worked as expected . Pointing to the highlighted area was definitive, easily found and just needed the ctrl key to go to the desired link area. It’s obvious that I am a scratch LO calc user so forgive the deficient terminology but I felt obligated to report this as best I could.
Following up to previous comment about linking issues. When I double click on the cell with new links they work as expected but the older links require double clinking outside the cell with the new link for older ones to work. Bottomline: its just inconsistent. This may be some elementary thing I’m doing wrong but trying to word this problem is driving me batty.
Margin adjustments have been relocated and hard to find with no option for exact size.
