LibreOffice is available for several operating systems. This makes it an excellent tool when a group of users frequently need to share files and do not use the same system on their computers.
When sharing documents with others, you have several options:
If the recipient needs to be able to edit the file
Save the document in the format the other user needs. For example, to save as a Microsoft Word file, click File › Save As, then select the Microsoft Word file type for the version of Word the other user needs.
If the recipient only needs to read the document
Export the document to a PDF file with File › Export as PDF. PDF files can be read on any platform using a PDF viewer.
Sharing a document for editing
Agree on a common exchange format that works for everyone. TXT and RTF formats, although limited in formatting, can be a good option for text documents.
