Wps Office Libreoffice



Not sure if Asana, LibreOffice, or WPS Office is the better choice for your needs? Check Capterra’s comparison, take a look at features, product details, pricing, and read verified user reviews. LibreOffice is an office suite that was born as a result of the purchase of OpenOffice by Oracle. This suite is completely free and open source, and seeks to bring users all (or most) of the functions of the Microsoft suite completely free of charge.

Both office suites include the same applications for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, and databases. These two projects share the vast majority of their code. They have similar interfaces and features. Below, we have a screenshot of LibreOffice Writer, LibreOffice’s word processing program.

I noticed that an old post of mine about adding dictionaries to WPS Office, has been receiving some attention recently. I quickly checked the links and it seems they are dead, also the file paths listed there no longer apply for WPS Office v11. Therefore, I decided to check how to add dictionaries to version 11.

Wps office x libreoffice

I am using WPS Office 11.1.0.9719.XA installed from SBo on Slackware64 -current. First you need to have the dictionaries files. Since the ones from WPS office are no longer available (or I simply cannot find them), I searched a bit and ended up with the dictionaries for LibreOffice found here. I suppose you can download only the ones you need, however, I just downloaded the whole collection and unzipped it.

As in my old post, I want to have British English spellcheck. What I need is found in the en folder, but it has to be prepared for WPS Office as follows:

  • Create a folder en_GB
  • Copy files en_GB.aff and en_GB.dic to the newly created folder and rename them as main.aff and main.dic, respectively.
  • Create a file called dict.conf within folder en_GB with the following contents:
Office

Ok, so where does this folder go? The en_GB folder should be placed in either:

  • for your user only: ~/.local/share/Kingsoft/office6/dicts/
  • system-wide: /opt/kingsoft/wps-office/office6/dicts/spellcheck/
Wps Office Libreoffice

Then just restart WPS Office. To select the dictionary go to:

Libreoffice Vs Microsoft Office

I am looking for software for an old computer of my father's. He has MS Works and uses word documents. He has lots of files and would like to continue using Works but a new laptop he purchased does not open .wps files. Will LibreOffice works for him?

Free Office Vs Wps Office

The tag on the files he uses is .wps

Suggestion, you can try LibreOffice as a portable application ( http://portableapps.com/apps/office/l... ) and test it yourself, or give it to your father to play with. If it meets his/your needs then you can do a full install.
