    На этой странице сравниваются возможности LibreOffice 24.2.2

    (скачать) и Microsoft Office 2019 / 365. В виде таблицы показаны значительные и не очень отличия в возможностях, а также даются сведения о расширениях LibreOffice. В сравнении программ подчеркиваются различия, и потому не показываются возможности, которые присутствуют в обоих офисных пакетах.

    There are separate comparison tables available for:

    1. Desktop (notebooks, desktop computers): LibreOffice 24.2.2 (download) vs. Microsoft Office 2021 / 365
    2. Mobile (smartphones, tablets): LibreOffice-based mobile solutions (download) vs. Microsoft Office 365 mobile apps
    3. Online (web browser-based office): LibreOffice-based Collabora Online 23.05 ([1] [2]) vs. Microsoft Office for the web. This section also includes the LibreOffice-based Chromebook App (Collabora Office download [3]) for reasons explained in the section.

    Windows и macOS. Windows и macOS версии основаны на различных кодовых базах, что приводит к проблемам совместимости в формате документов, отчасти к различиям в функционале и в пользовательском интерфейсе.

Несоответствия / различия функций в Windows версиях MS Office 2019 и Office 365: некоторые функции впоследствии включаются только в версию Office 365(новые добавленные функции также различаются для macOS и MS Windows версий), что приводит к несоответствию в наборе функций (см.ниже).

    Windows and macOS versions have some document format compatibility problems, somewhat different feature sets and differences in the user interface; macOS version does not include the database application MS Access, does not include MS Publisher, and also lacks a number of other features (see below). Feature inconsistencies/​differences in Windows versions, between "MS Office 2021" sales version and the "Office 365" rental version: some features are being subsequently included only in the rental version (newly added features also differ between macOS and MS Windows) leading to inconsistencies in the feature set (see below).
