Early days for LibreOffice’s attempt, but it has to start somewhere. This work caters for similar functionality from in Microsoft’s PowerPoint app, which lets users define a set of colours, fonts, and formatting to master pages. In this release it debuts (early) support for document themes. Impress is already a fairly robust, feature-packed presentation creation tool. LibreOffice’s Excel analogue Calc now supports up to 16,384 columns in spreadsheets, adds more functions to the AutoSum widget, and a menu item you can use to search sheet names. An alternative to services like Grammarly, kinda. But once turn on it gives you right-click menu suggestions to fix grammatical errors. This feature is not enabled out of the box, requires setup, and you need to accept a privacy policy. Need help with your grammar? LibreOffice 7.4 Writer now offers integration with remote LanguageTool APIs. In app-specific improvements Writer gains better change tracking in footnotes, shows edited lists with original numbers in change tracking, and debuts some additional typographic settings for hyphenation - great for those of us who use hyphens a lot 🙌🏻.
