For no cost, LibreOffice provides all of the major productivity apps you'll need - including a spreadsheet, word processor and presentation maker - while reading and writing files in the. All I have to do is open the Libre Office and select any previous word file from Microsoft and it opens with a breeze. Love it for my needs. I copy lots of recipes off the internet. Also, I do use the excel part of Libre Office and it works just like Microsoft.

You also can obtain LibreOffice through the Mac App Store, called LibreOffice Vanilla. Click here to see a page about this version.
LibreOffice for the Mac has all the features and applications that the Windows and Linux distro versions have. However, when it comes to being installed, the Mac version of LibreOffice has less options than the other two.
The Windows version has a typical installation and a customized installation, that allows users to choose user interface languages, components, and dictionaries through an installation wizard. The wizard also has features that allow the installed LibreOffice to be modified and uninstalled. In addition to this, there are several versions of the suite in the Windows 10 Store and a portable version that can be taken from computer to computer.
Many Linux distros come with LibreOffice preinstalled, or the it can easily be installed through the distros PPA. Users can install individual applications, and they don’t have to install the entire suite. There are also several different ways to download the suite: directly through the Website, through Snap, through Flatpak, as an AppImage, etc.
The Mac version can either be downloaded directly from libreoffice.org or installed through the Mac Store. Unlike the Linux versions, only the entire suite can be installed. Individual applications cannot be left uninstalled. It also doesn’t have individual icons for each application. In order to launch LibreOffice without clicking on a document that has already been created, you have to click the white icon that launches StartCenter.
The most common way to install LibreOffice is by downloading the DMG file from libreoffice,org and then running the installation process. The specific page is https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/
The latest version is on top. It has the latest features and changes from the development team. The bottom version is older, but most likely has less bugs because it has been tested for a longer period of time.
Simply click the Download button for the desired one. NOTE: You may want to change the location where your browser downloads the DMG.
After clicking the Download button, you will be taken to a Donation page. There is no need to make a donation. The download has already started.
Once the DMG is downloaded, go to where the file is located. Double-click it. This opens a dialog that allows you to drag an image of the LibreOffice icon to an image of the Applications folder.
To launch the application, go to the the Application folder, and double-click the LibreOffice icon. It will launch and the icon will appear in the Dock.
If LibreOffice does not launch, go to the Security & Privacy page in Settings and set it to App Store and identified developers.

I would wish for both LibreOffice and OpenOffice.org to get a full sandbox as Gogole Chrome and Adobe Reader have.
The OpenOffice.org Team left Oracle and decide to do LibreOffice !
