ElixirOffice 0.2.1 is a bug-fix and polish update of the free and open source (AGPLv3) office suite for people used to Microsoft Office. It works entirely on your computer: Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OpenDocument files, and PDF.

Download

Fixed

  • Opening files no longer fails with a misleading "the file is open elsewhere" message after a network-share, OneDrive or settings error (#4).
  • On Windows, using the computer's fonts no longer fails when some font files cannot be read (#4).
  • Office-identical file shortcuts in open documents: Ctrl+N, Ctrl+O, Ctrl+S, Ctrl+P; Save As is F12 on Windows and Linux, Cmd+Shift+S on macOS. Word's own Ctrl+Shift+S, Ctrl+Shift+E and Ctrl+Q keep working (#6).
  • No more browser-only "keys blocked" notice in the desktop app (#3).
  • A "Cancelled" message no longer stays at the bottom of the window (#2).

New

  • Saving and exporting show progress, can be cancelled, and end with a "file ready" message with Open and Show in folder.
  • A new Save As dialog lists every format with a short description, then lets you choose the folder and name.
  • Closing a modified document asks, like Word, whether to save the changes to that document: Save, Don't Save or Cancel.
  • PDF pages can be rotated; Arabic templates no longer show missing characters.
  • Help > About shows the version, build number and source revision.
  • Security fixes for links in documents (and for the server version), with credits to the ONLYOFFICE fixes we ported; details in RELEASE-NOTES.md.

Known limitations

  • On some older Linux systems (seen on elementary OS 6.1, based on Ubuntu 20.04, with Intel UHD 620 graphics), Ctrl+P can close the application: save before printing. Current Ubuntu, Windows and macOS are not affected; a fix is in progress.
  • Tagged PDFs can only be saved as a copy. Opening several documents at once (one window per document) is planned (#7).
