It has all of the most common Word features - although these may be accessed in different ways - and some features that Word does not. LibreOffice Writer is a word processing suite similar in purpose to Microsoft Office’s Word. LibreOffice has a lot of extra applications including Writer, Calc, Impress, and Draw. Overall I find it to be the better of the free MS Office alternatives. Libre was/is based off of OpenOffice and makes some adjustments, tweaks a d additions. LibreOffice is preinstalled on current versions of Ubuntu and it “is not some lightweight sour-grapes substitute for Microsoft Office…it is a full-featured contender,” wrote Grant and Bull. 7 Kursah said: LibreOffice is the best choice here, iirc development slowed or even stopped on OpenOffice while LibreOffice has been steadily updated for the years I've used it. The most important difference between LibreOffice, OpenOffice and MS Office is that the former two are open-source office suites, which means that the source code is public, and the public can inspect, modify, and enhance it. Microsoft simply refuses to make a native app for Ubuntu and we understand why, they are competitors but perhaps with this new Microsoft CEO, things might change? I wouldn’t bank on it but you never know. Of course people will tell you they are ways to get Microsoft Word in Ubuntu but honestly, it isn’t worth the extra effort for you to try to do it.
No, as of right now, you unfortunately can NOT run the native Microsoft Word/Office in Ubuntu or any other Linux distro. Once Oracle took over OpenOffice the open source developers simply jumped ship and forked off Libre Office which is much better maintained at this point (for example only Libre Office can save documents in the Microsoft docx format).
