The BEST Linux Office Suite just got better

hello everybody this is teca in this hello everybody this is teca in this video what we're going to be doing is video what we're going to be doing is video what we're going to be doing is talking about only office the only talking about only office the only talking about only office the only office team reached out to me to help office team reached out to me to help office team reached out to me to help promote their new promote their new promote their new 7.1 version this version has a lot of 7.1 version this version has a lot of 7.1 version this version has a lot of new features improvements and changes new features improvements and changes new features improvements and changes that are definitely worth a mention that are definitely worth a mention that are definitely worth a mention first of all before i dive into the new first of all before i dive into the new first of all before i dive into the new features improvements of 7.1 i'm going features improvements of 7.1 i'm going features improvements of 7.1 i'm going to talk about only office in general and to talk about only office in general and to talk about only office in general and why i like it versus something like a why i like it versus something like a why i like it versus something like a microsoft office especially and microsoft office especially and microsoft office especially and libreoffice now most office suites have libreoffice now most office suites have libreoffice now most office suites have separate applications for every separate applications for every separate applications for every individual function such as document individual function such as document individual function such as document spreadsheets presentations whatever it spreadsheets presentations whatever it spreadsheets presentations whatever it may be this is all integrated to one may be this is all integrated to one may be this is all integrated to one kind of like a web browser if i go ahead kind of like a web browser if i go ahead kind of like a web browser if i go ahead and open up a new document you can see and open up a new document you can see and open up a new document you can see right there it opens up in the top as a right there it opens up in the top as a right there it opens up in the top as a new tab open up new spreadsheet it's a new tab open up new spreadsheet it's a new tab open up new spreadsheet it's a another new tab all integrated within another new tab all integrated within another new tab all integrated within the same exact application but with that the same exact application but with that the same exact application but with that if you're not a fan you could still drag if you're not a fan you could still drag if you're not a fan you could still drag these out if you'd want to and work on these out if you'd want to and work on these out if you'd want to and work on them separately in separate windows of them separately in separate windows of them separately in separate windows of course but i really like how it's all course but i really like how it's all course but i really like how it's all integrated into one and you noticed when integrated into one and you noticed when integrated into one and you noticed when i opened up the document the default i opened up the document the default i opened up the document the default formatting is docx so this our only formatting is docx so this our only formatting is docx so this our only office is really known for having office is really known for having office is really known for having remarkable compatibility with microsoft remarkable compatibility with microsoft remarkable compatibility with microsoft office so even if you are working with office so even if you are working with office so even if you are working with somebody who uses microsoft office or somebody who uses microsoft office or somebody who uses microsoft office or you just need to download documents and you just need to download documents and you just need to download documents and all that you are not going to have any all that you are not going to have any all that you are not going to have any troubles really converting them or troubles really converting them or troubles really converting them or opening them and like me my school that opening them and like me my school that opening them and like me my school that i'm currently attending they are 100 i'm currently attending they are 100 i'm currently attending they are 100 dedicated into the microsoft office

dedicated into the microsoft office dedicated into the microsoft office space and i have never had any issues space and i have never had any issues space and i have never had any issues doing any work within only office with doing any work within only office with doing any work within only office with any of the stuff that any of my any of the stuff that any of my any of the stuff that any of my professors or really anybody has given professors or really anybody has given professors or really anybody has given me and with that just based on the me and with that just based on the me and with that just based on the general ui it is incredibly familiar general ui it is incredibly familiar general ui it is incredibly familiar everything is where you'd expect it to everything is where you'd expect it to everything is where you'd expect it to be especially if you're coming over from be especially if you're coming over from be especially if you're coming over from some other proprietary software this is some other proprietary software this is some other proprietary software this is free and open source so that's just free and open source so that's just free and open source so that's just another pro and all the tools and another pro and all the tools and another pro and all the tools and everything that you'd expect are all everything that you'd expect are all everything that you'd expect are all here and easy to use so with that we're here and easy to use so with that we're here and easy to use so with that we're going to start diving into some of the going to start diving into some of the going to start diving into some of the new feature changes so from here what new feature changes so from here what new feature changes so from here what i'm going to do is open up this only i'm going to do is open up this only i'm going to do is open up this only office 7.1 announcement pdf file and office 7.1 announcement pdf file and office 7.1 announcement pdf file and this is one of the new features you can this is one of the new features you can this is one of the new features you can now open and view pdfs natively within now open and view pdfs natively within now open and view pdfs natively within only office eliminating the need for only office eliminating the need for only office eliminating the need for some third-party application to go ahead some third-party application to go ahead some third-party application to go ahead and do this and that in itself is pretty and do this and that in itself is pretty and do this and that in itself is pretty cool but what makes this actually cool but what makes this actually cool but what makes this actually special is the ability to save this as a special is the ability to save this as a special is the ability to save this as a different type of document all we would different type of document all we would different type of document all we would need to do is switch this over to the need to do is switch this over to the need to do is switch this over to the open document text file here and i'm open document text file here and i'm open document text file here and i'm going to give this a quick rename let's going to give this a quick rename let's going to give this a quick rename let's just say dash edit save that saving our just say dash edit save that saving our just say dash edit save that saving our document and now what we could do is document and now what we could do is document and now what we could do is head back over to our main only office head back over to our main only office head back over to our main only office tab here open a local file from my home tab here open a local file from my home tab here open a local file from my home directory and you can see it right there directory and you can see it right there directory and you can see it right there only office dash edit so if i give that only office dash edit so if i give that only office dash edit so if i give that a quick open you can see here it's a quick open you can see here it's a quick open you can see here it's basically the exact same file it it basically the exact same file it it basically the exact same file it it still has a little bit of quirks it still has a little bit of quirks it still has a little bit of quirks it doesn't convert everything over doesn't convert everything over doesn't convert everything over perfectly all the time so you can see perfectly all the time so you can see perfectly all the time so you can see like all of this is set to bold so you'd like all of this is set to bold so you'd like all of this is set to bold so you'd want to go through undo that and make want to go through undo that and make want to go through undo that and make any other edits you want but just being

any other edits you want but just being any other edits you want but just being able to like copy and paste all this able to like copy and paste all this able to like copy and paste all this real easy from a document that did not real easy from a document that did not real easy from a document that did not have that functionality previously is have that functionality previously is have that functionality previously is very nice now one thing i'm going to do very nice now one thing i'm going to do very nice now one thing i'm going to do is try to find a more difficult example is try to find a more difficult example is try to find a more difficult example something that's formatted very something that's formatted very something that's formatted very awkwardly and for that we're going to awkwardly and for that we're going to awkwardly and for that we're going to use this uh hardin 1968 pdf so let's use this uh hardin 1968 pdf so let's use this uh hardin 1968 pdf so let's give that an open and you could see it's give that an open and you could see it's give that an open and you could see it's uh an academic text formatting is going uh an academic text formatting is going uh an academic text formatting is going to be very difficult for this and then to be very difficult for this and then to be very difficult for this and then let's go ahead and save this out as a let's go ahead and save this out as a let's go ahead and save this out as a office open xml save it so here it is office open xml save it so here it is office open xml save it so here it is hardin hardin hardin 1968. let's open that and here we go so 1968. let's open that and here we go so 1968. let's open that and here we go so it did pretty good still bolded a lot of it did pretty good still bolded a lot of it did pretty good still bolded a lot of things now the main issue with this kind things now the main issue with this kind things now the main issue with this kind of formatting that it hasn't been able of formatting that it hasn't been able of formatting that it hasn't been able to quite recognize yet is everything is to quite recognize yet is everything is to quite recognize yet is everything is still like this so if i copied and still like this so if i copied and still like this so if i copied and pasted it it would not be right but pasted it it would not be right but pasted it it would not be right but going in and making some simple edits if going in and making some simple edits if going in and making some simple edits if you needed to or even adding some notes you needed to or even adding some notes you needed to or even adding some notes in here or there it's it's very doable in here or there it's it's very doable in here or there it's it's very doable and it's a very welcomed feature now if and it's a very welcomed feature now if and it's a very welcomed feature now if i open something else i'm going to open i open something else i'm going to open i open something else i'm going to open up my entire textbook from a class i up my entire textbook from a class i up my entire textbook from a class i took last quarter environment and took last quarter environment and took last quarter environment and society you can see there are 352 pages society you can see there are 352 pages society you can see there are 352 pages and now if we go over here you have and now if we go over here you have and now if we go over here you have navigation and like most other pdf navigation and like most other pdf navigation and like most other pdf viewers you'll be able to see all the viewers you'll be able to see all the viewers you'll be able to see all the specific chapters headings and easily specific chapters headings and easily specific chapters headings and easily navigate throughout your documents so navigate throughout your documents so navigate throughout your documents so that is awesome from there what we're that is awesome from there what we're that is awesome from there what we're going to do let's stay in this little going to do let's stay in this little going to do let's stay in this little document we converted earlier i'm going document we converted earlier i'm going document we converted earlier i'm going to select everything and to select everything and to select everything and unbold it just so it looks a little bit unbold it just so it looks a little bit unbold it just so it looks a little bit better and some of the new stuff we're better and some of the new stuff we're better and some of the new stuff we're going to look at is on the view tab now

going to look at is on the view tab now going to look at is on the view tab now you'll notice some new options we have you'll notice some new options we have you'll notice some new options we have fit to width which is nice so i'll just fit to width which is nice so i'll just fit to width which is nice so i'll just make the document itself the perfect make the document itself the perfect make the document itself the perfect zoom level to be as wide as your open zoom level to be as wide as your open zoom level to be as wide as your open window and look good and then within the window and look good and then within the window and look good and then within the interface you could also hide some interface you could also hide some interface you could also hide some things so we could get rid of the status things so we could get rid of the status things so we could get rid of the status bar get rid of the toolbar when we're bar get rid of the toolbar when we're bar get rid of the toolbar when we're not actively using it ditch the rulers not actively using it ditch the rulers not actively using it ditch the rulers if we don't need them but what i like is if we don't need them but what i like is if we don't need them but what i like is the interface theme you can actually the interface theme you can actually the interface theme you can actually change it right from here so i could change it right from here so i could change it right from here so i could switch this over to dark and classic switch this over to dark and classic switch this over to dark and classic light or any of the other colors if i light or any of the other colors if i light or any of the other colors if i would like to you could also change that would like to you could also change that would like to you could also change that in your settings but it's nice it's in your settings but it's nice it's in your settings but it's nice it's available there within the ribbon for available there within the ribbon for available there within the ribbon for the document if you really want to save the document if you really want to save the document if you really want to save your eyes you can switch that to a dark your eyes you can switch that to a dark your eyes you can switch that to a dark document which will make the text white document which will make the text white document which will make the text white background dark save your eyes a little background dark save your eyes a little background dark save your eyes a little bit so for now i'm going to undo some of bit so for now i'm going to undo some of bit so for now i'm going to undo some of these changes and then we're going to these changes and then we're going to these changes and then we're going to move applications because there have move applications because there have move applications because there have been some improvements within the been some improvements within the been some improvements within the spreadsheet app so i'm just going to go spreadsheet app so i'm just going to go spreadsheet app so i'm just going to go ahead and fill in some random data here ahead and fill in some random data here ahead and fill in some random data here there we go let's make this bigger so there we go let's make this bigger so there we go let's make this bigger so you all can see it and the new feature you all can see it and the new feature you all can see it and the new feature is formula tips so we got some data here is formula tips so we got some data here is formula tips so we got some data here let's do our equal sign and then start let's do our equal sign and then start let's do our equal sign and then start typing so s and then right here it gives typing so s and then right here it gives typing so s and then right here it gives us a bunch of different formulas to us a bunch of different formulas to us a bunch of different formulas to choose from and we'll kind of figure out choose from and we'll kind of figure out choose from and we'll kind of figure out what's going on and suggest to you what what's going on and suggest to you what what's going on and suggest to you what you might need as far as the function you might need as far as the function you might need as far as the function goes so we wanted some select all those goes so we wanted some select all those goes so we wanted some select all those and there we go and of course it works and there we go and of course it works and there we go and of course it works for other things so if we wanted to grab for other things so if we wanted to grab for other things so if we wanted to grab like the median of all of these numbers like the median of all of these numbers like the median of all of these numbers including these sum we could do that including these sum we could do that including these sum we could do that real easy overall it's a really handy real easy overall it's a really handy real easy overall it's a really handy tool now this specific spreadsheet isn't tool now this specific spreadsheet isn't tool now this specific spreadsheet isn't the best example but another thing that

the best example but another thing that the best example but another thing that we could do which has been a much we could do which has been a much we could do which has been a much requested feature is print previews for requested feature is print previews for requested feature is print previews for your actual workbooks so here you could your actual workbooks so here you could your actual workbooks so here you could go all sheets current sheet and actually go all sheets current sheet and actually go all sheets current sheet and actually see a print preview if you have a lot see a print preview if you have a lot see a print preview if you have a lot more data graphs and things like that more data graphs and things like that more data graphs and things like that that is a very very handy feature now that is a very very handy feature now that is a very very handy feature now going away from excel documents we're going away from excel documents we're going away from excel documents we're gonna go close this out jump over here gonna go close this out jump over here gonna go close this out jump over here there's some new presentation features there's some new presentation features there's some new presentation features and the big one over here is animations and the big one over here is animations and the big one over here is animations so if i go ahead let's add a title here so if i go ahead let's add a title here so if i go ahead let's add a title here title and then select the title we can title and then select the title we can title and then select the title we can add various animations and if you go add various animations and if you go add various animations and if you go down here there are a good amount to down here there are a good amount to down here there are a good amount to choose from including motion paths so choose from including motion paths so choose from including motion paths so you can set custom animations but of you can set custom animations but of you can set custom animations but of course we have the uh typical ones that course we have the uh typical ones that course we have the uh typical ones that you'd expect in a powerpoint you'd expect in a powerpoint you'd expect in a powerpoint presentation application such as presentation application such as presentation application such as transparency swirl bounce random bars transparency swirl bounce random bars transparency swirl bounce random bars whatever you may need and you get a whatever you may need and you get a whatever you may need and you get a little preview there and then we have a little preview there and then we have a little preview there and then we have a lot more options such as being able to lot more options such as being able to lot more options such as being able to re-preview uh start on click you could re-preview uh start on click you could re-preview uh start on click you could change that the actual delay and change that the actual delay and change that the actual delay and duration of the animations and so forth duration of the animations and so forth duration of the animations and so forth and another thing here is if we add a and another thing here is if we add a and another thing here is if we add a couple new slides you can now move these couple new slides you can now move these couple new slides you can now move these slides around just by right clicking on slides around just by right clicking on slides around just by right clicking on them and here we can move it to the them and here we can move it to the them and here we can move it to the beginning move slide to end so whatever beginning move slide to end so whatever beginning move slide to end so whatever you may need to do and of course we you may need to do and of course we you may need to do and of course we could keep the drag functionality it's could keep the drag functionality it's could keep the drag functionality it's really easy if you have a slide like 40 really easy if you have a slide like 40 really easy if you have a slide like 40 slides down and you want to move it up slides down and you want to move it up slides down and you want to move it up to the top instead of having to try to to the top instead of having to try to to the top instead of having to try to drag it up so with that i'm going to drag it up so with that i'm going to drag it up so with that i'm going to head over to one of these blank slides head over to one of these blank slides head over to one of these blank slides real quick and talk about shapes so what real quick and talk about shapes so what real quick and talk about shapes so what we're going to do is go over to insert

we're going to do is go over to insert we're going to do is go over to insert here and we're going to insert a shape here and we're going to insert a shape here and we're going to insert a shape so if we go right here we have all of so if we go right here we have all of so if we go right here we have all of our shapes these are recently used i our shapes these are recently used i our shapes these are recently used i haven't used any shapes at the moment so haven't used any shapes at the moment so haven't used any shapes at the moment so these are just probably the most common these are just probably the most common these are just probably the most common that you will have available let's add that you will have available let's add that you will have available let's add this star right here so just drag and this star right here so just drag and this star right here so just drag and drop that in and the new feature that drop that in and the new feature that drop that in and the new feature that was added was the ability to edit the was added was the ability to edit the was added was the ability to edit the geometry so we go ahead right click and geometry so we go ahead right click and geometry so we go ahead right click and go to edit points you can now see the go to edit points you can now see the go to edit points you can now see the available points and we can simply drag available points and we can simply drag available points and we can simply drag and move them around however we want and move them around however we want and move them around however we want making the options for the actual shapes making the options for the actual shapes making the options for the actual shapes borderline unlimited and very borderline unlimited and very borderline unlimited and very customizable so you can make the star a customizable so you can make the star a customizable so you can make the star a little thicker if you would like to make little thicker if you would like to make little thicker if you would like to make it look like a patrick here if we go it look like a patrick here if we go it look like a patrick here if we go ahead and add a new custom color make ahead and add a new custom color make ahead and add a new custom color make him a little a little pink him a little a little pink him a little a little pink there we go and uh speaking of colors there we go and uh speaking of colors there we go and uh speaking of colors another thing that we could do now is another thing that we could do now is another thing that we could do now is the gradient direction so if we go up to the gradient direction so if we go up to the gradient direction so if we go up to gradient fill the default is going to be gradient fill the default is going to be gradient fill the default is going to be white but i can change that actual white but i can change that actual white but i can change that actual direction right here so if i click on direction right here so if i click on direction right here so if i click on this you can see all the different this you can see all the different this you can see all the different options we have available to us so right options we have available to us so right options we have available to us so right now the white gradient is on this side now the white gradient is on this side now the white gradient is on this side if i wanted it to be on the other side i if i wanted it to be on the other side i if i wanted it to be on the other side i just select this one and it switches just select this one and it switches just select this one and it switches over and then i could add a different over and then i could add a different over and then i could add a different color here to maybe make it a little bit color here to maybe make it a little bit color here to maybe make it a little bit more realistic for what we're going for more realistic for what we're going for more realistic for what we're going for so maybe like a slightly darker purple so maybe like a slightly darker purple so maybe like a slightly darker purple we can add that we can add that we can add that hard to tell but you get the point it's hard to tell but you get the point it's hard to tell but you get the point it's definitely nice and the things that definitely nice and the things that definitely nice and the things that we've covered so far in this video is we've covered so far in this video is we've covered so far in this video is just the primary main things that you're just the primary main things that you're just the primary main things that you're going to notice there's a lot of changes

going to notice there's a lot of changes going to notice there's a lot of changes under the hood and a lot of little under the hood and a lot of little under the hood and a lot of little features here in there that i couldn't features here in there that i couldn't features here in there that i couldn't get to in this video below i'm going to get to in this video below i'm going to get to in this video below i'm going to be linking to a blog post by the only be linking to a blog post by the only be linking to a blog post by the only office team that will dive deeper into office team that will dive deeper into office team that will dive deeper into all these specific changes in addition all these specific changes in addition all these specific changes in addition to what i've talked about so far under to what i've talked about so far under to what i've talked about so far under the hood we're going to be seeing some the hood we're going to be seeing some the hood we're going to be seeing some improvements because the open source improvements because the open source improvements because the open source java engine that they use for this java engine that they use for this java engine that they use for this developed by google has recently also developed by google has recently also developed by google has recently also gotten a huge update they're using a gotten a huge update they're using a gotten a huge update they're using a newer version of microsoft visual code newer version of microsoft visual code newer version of microsoft visual code studio to go ahead and make this so when studio to go ahead and make this so when studio to go ahead and make this so when you're especially when you're dealing you're especially when you're dealing you're especially when you're dealing with large documents or huge with large documents or huge with large documents or huge spreadsheets you're going to notice spreadsheets you're going to notice spreadsheets you're going to notice better improvement when it comes to just better improvement when it comes to just better improvement when it comes to just opening documents and general opening documents and general opening documents and general day-to-day tasks within this document day-to-day tasks within this document day-to-day tasks within this document writing application there's improved writing application there's improved writing application there's improved search functionality so you'll be able search functionality so you'll be able search functionality so you'll be able to actually search for functions and all to actually search for functions and all to actually search for functions and all kinds of different things and something kinds of different things and something kinds of different things and something that's really cool is only office is that's really cool is only office is that's really cool is only office is coming to the arm ecosystem at the coming to the arm ecosystem at the coming to the arm ecosystem at the moment it's only supported on ubuntu but moment it's only supported on ubuntu but moment it's only supported on ubuntu but if you're running arm or an arm server if you're running arm or an arm server if you're running arm or an arm server you'll be able to get only office on you'll be able to get only office on you'll be able to get only office on your system and of course it's not just your system and of course it's not just your system and of course it's not just all about the desktop application they all about the desktop application they all about the desktop application they have a whole bunch of different products have a whole bunch of different products have a whole bunch of different products that you could go and check out that you could go and check out that you could go and check out personally i like to use only office on personally i like to use only office on personally i like to use only office on my next cloud instance they have an only my next cloud instance they have an only my next cloud instance they have an only office server so then i can use this office server so then i can use this office server so then i can use this software on my own server on the web to software on my own server on the web to software on my own server on the web to go ahead and edit and manipulate all my go ahead and edit and manipulate all my go ahead and edit and manipulate all my files anywhere in the world but if we go files anywhere in the world but if we go files anywhere in the world but if we go to the only office homepage here go to to the only office homepage here go to to the only office homepage here go to products and features we could see products and features we could see products and features we could see everything that they have to offer only everything that they have to offer only everything that they have to offer only office for desktop is what we primarily

office for desktop is what we primarily office for desktop is what we primarily focused on in this video but of course focused on in this video but of course focused on in this video but of course they have only office workspace on the they have only office workspace on the they have only office workspace on the office docs so you could do documents office docs so you could do documents office docs so you could do documents email crm a whole bunch of different email crm a whole bunch of different email crm a whole bunch of different things for your business if that's what things for your business if that's what things for your business if that's what you're interested in or of course we you're interested in or of course we you're interested in or of course we could always just head over to only could always just head over to only could always just head over to only office docs here run it on our own office docs here run it on our own office docs here run it on our own server and then we do have some server and then we do have some server and then we do have some enterprise options available to us but enterprise options available to us but enterprise options available to us but if we just go over to community and if we just go over to community and if we just go over to community and check out the only office docs community check out the only office docs community check out the only office docs community we can easily spin up our very own only we can easily spin up our very own only we can easily spin up our very own only office server which is also on always office server which is also on always office server which is also on always very nice to be able to do so very nice to be able to do so very nice to be able to do so with that everything i mentioned in this with that everything i mentioned in this with that everything i mentioned in this video will be linked down below video will be linked down below video will be linked down below including the release announcement the including the release announcement the including the release announcement the downloads to host your own only office downloads to host your own only office downloads to host your own only office server or just get it on your computer server or just get it on your computer server or just get it on your computer uh with all that thank you only office uh with all that thank you only office uh with all that thank you only office for reaching out and sponsoring the for reaching out and sponsoring the for reaching out and sponsoring the channel you'll see some only office ad channel you'll see some only office ad channel you'll see some only office ad integrations in a couple videos in a few integrations in a couple videos in a few integrations in a couple videos in a few weeks weeks weeks but with all that i hope you'll have an but with all that i hope you'll have an but with all that i hope you'll have an absolutely beautiful day and good bye
