LibreOffice draw 7.4

Sometimes we want to print a document in such a way multiple copies appear on the same page of a4. This is useful for producing flyers.

This video hopefully illustrates how to do this using LibreOffice Draw 7.4

There is an error where I have used 6, you can see the orientation changes to landscape, I have left this in as I corrected the error so hopefully it helps with the illustration on how to do this.

The principle should be similar for other modules.

LibreOffice 7.3

LO 7.3

Version 7.3 of the Free, Libre, Open Source office suite is now available. You can read more about this here.

Documentation for 7.3 will be available shortly, in the meantime you can still download books for 7.1 & 7.2.

For those of you who dismiss LibreOffice. This is from the blog post.

LibreOffice offers the highest level of compatibility in the office suite market segment, starting with native support for the OpenDocument Format (ODF) – beating proprietary formats in the areas of security and robustness – to superior support for DOCX, XLSX and PPTX files. In addition, LibreOffice provides filters for a large number of legacy document formats, to return ownership and control to users.

Microsoft files are still based on the proprietary format deprecated by ISO in 2008, and not on the ISO approved standard, so they hide a large amount of artificial complexity. This causes handling issues with LibreOffice, which defaults to a true open standard format (the OpenDocument Format).

New Features Video

LO 7.2 install on Debian 11

*This worked for me, please use common sense and think before you do stuff, I am not responsible for damage to your system**

I have now downloaded and installed LibreOffice 7.2 on Debian 11.

  1. Goto https://www.libreoffice.org/
  2. Click Download Now
  3. For Debian 11, I selected the 7.2 deb file from the options
  4. LibreOffice7.2.5Linuxx86-64deb.tar.gz Save or move this to a sensible location, so maybe create a sub folder in downloads called Libreoffice
  5. Extract the gz file – this should be unzip *.gz
  6. Extract the tar file this should be tar -xf *.tar
  7. cd in to LibreOffice7.2.5.2Linuxx86-64deb 7a type ls to list files (for me I had 42 deb files)
  8. Goto a terminal
  9. Switch to root, with su - and enter password
  10. You will probably need to check working directory pwd
  11. cd to where your deb files are
  12. dpkg -i *.deb
  13. This should install everything
  14. You will find Libreoffice 7.2 on the menu (I am using xfce)

As always Your Mileage May Vary

Note, the LibreOffice 7.2 menu entries will be BELOW those for the previos install, my video here illustrates how to use menu editor to move them above the previous version.
