I don't use LibreOffice myself, and prefer the OpenOffice version that has been kept alive by Apache. (There are certain quirks in LibreOffice that mess up my existing documents, and I don't want to have to change everything, to redo formatting, etc.) It may be that OpenOffice could solve your issues, or not? https://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/apacheoo-deb/files/ For what it's worth, I have hardly ever used LibreOffice, but rather have stuck with OpenOffice continuously for 20 years or so. In any case, OpenOffice works very well for me, and I've been running it in Windoze 2000 Pro, KDE3, KDE4 and TDE desktops. It also integrates with my color scheme, and works in Trinity the same as it did years ago on Kubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 KDE3. However, your results may vary! If you want to add the lines to your sources list: ######## # Open Office - Apache - unofficial repositories # sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 90127F5B # deb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/apacheoo-deb/debian <version> main deb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/apacheoo-deb/debian testing main ######## Like Trinity, it will install by default in your /opt folder. As far as I recall, the same packages are used for Ubuntu or Debian, and instructions are to use testing, no matter what version you run on your machine. There are also some specific instructions for how to go about purging LibreOffice stuff, then reinstalling OpenOffice. If you want to do this, I will send my instructions, as well. It's a little tricky to get started, at least the first time or two, but after that it has worked without a hitch. Bill
