Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: question

If you are using the LibreOffice version from the Ubuntu repository,
please remember that it is not the official vanilla version from TDF but
is repackaged by Canonical (and as such may include bugs not present in
the official version from The Document Foundation).

LibreOffice included with Ubuntu 16.04 is very old (four years, for a
product updated every six months, are a geological era), and features of
Calc have been improved on a regular basis. We are now at 6.4.5, and in
a week we will announce 7.0.
