Rio de Janeiro, September 26, 2024 – The Brazilian LibreOffice community proudly presents its new edition of the Writer Guide 7.6 , based on LibreOffice 7.6 and with the innovations introduced in this version.
The guide meets the need for LibreOffice documentation in Brazilian Portuguese and the Writer Guide will help all LibreOffice users in editing texts, monographs, theses, reports, minutes and much more.
The community members of the LibreOffice documentation team are happy to announce the immediate availability of the Getting Started Guide 24.8, at the same time of the release of LibreOffice Community 24.8, our latest major update.
The book is for anyone who wants to get up-to-speed quickly with LibreOffice 24.8. It introduces Writer (word processing), Calc (spreadsheets), Impress (presentations), Draw (vector drawings), Math (equation editor), and Base (database) as well as important information on common features and settings of all modules.
Olivier Hallot, LibreOffice Documentation Coordinator at The Document Foundation, said:
We sought a companion product for the recently released LibreOffice Community 24.8 in order to enable users to download the software and have the appropriate software documentation readily available. We are offering a complete solution of software and documentation to anyone who wants to deploy LibreOffice in offices and organizations or for individual use.
The guide is an effort of a multi-regional, multi-language documentation team of advanced users that collaborates on the update and authoring of new features introduced with LibreOffice Community 24.8.
