LibreOffice is a free open source office suite. It was forked from Sun Microsystems' OpenOffice.org office suite. It is a collection of office-related applications. This includes a word processor, a spreadsheet program and a presentation program. It is available for many different operating systems, including Windows, macOS and Linux. It supports the OpenDocument format as well as the file formats of Microsoft Office and most other office suites.
LibreOffice was created by the Document Foundation in response to Oracle Corporation's acquisition of Sun Microsystems.[7][8]
