   Looking for an office suite that doesn't spy on you or share your data? We're here. LibreOffice is open source (you can study how it works), and backed by a non-profit @tdforg. Enjoy.

     @nuncio It should work! But "on Linux" is very broad – which Linux distro, and which desktop environment? Which version of LibreOffice? You can let the QA community know of any issues at https://bugs.documentfoundation.org – thanks!

     @libreoffice @tdforg I just wish LO worked with dark themes on Linux. The entire menu and toolbar system is invisible.

     @libreoffice @tdforg Any plans for rounding out the suite with a calendar and/or email app?

     I've used it a lot in the past, and I'm looking forward to using it again soon as I move to Linux. But there's a feature that Calc doesn't seem to have: Power Query.

     I'm using it to process data from an Access database into the spreadsheet (while transforming it).

     I'm not sure if LO has plans on implementing something like that?

     @lerekofatwgo Hi! We don't have an equivalent yet, but there are some ways you can make it happen: get involved and help our volunteers, or consider funding a developer: https://www.documentfoundation.org/certified-developers/ – If people get together and do that, we can get these features and more 😊

     @blueghost That's entirely opt-in. It doesn't contradict the message.

     #LibreOffice posted an article titled "WE WANT TO USE OUR USERS PERSONAL DATA" at https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2022/11/01/community-support-needed-we-want-to-use-our-users-personal-data/

     LibreOffice was promoting a data collaboration with a company called polypoly. That article appears to contradict this post.

     In the last entry in the comments section of the article the author states the project is on hold.

     @libreoffice, what is the status of this project with polypoly? Is it still on *hold* or has it been *cancelled*?

     @YRthegdnamestkn Hi, as mentioned, please let us know the document format (eg .odt, .odg) that's you're using. You can also let our QA community know here: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org – Thanks!

     @blueghost So to clarify: as the image says, LibreOffice doesn't mine your data, or do telemetry. There was some discussion in the design community about an entirely opt-in tool (that is no longer being pursued anyway). If people want to opt-in to anything, or indeed install other extensions, that's up to them. But LibreOffice, out of the box, does not share documents, perform telemetry etc. – as the image illustrates. That's why we say there's no contradiction. We hope that makes it clearer!

     @libreoffice, there *appears* to be a contradiction because on 01.11.2022 you are asking users to support the data collaboration with the third-party company polypoly and on 13.10.2023 you are *unequivocally* stating there is no data sharing, no telemetry and no data mining.

     We had no way of knowing that your post on 13.10.2023 was *not* referring to data sharing, telemetry and data mining that is opt-in.

     What is the status of the project with polypoly? #LibreOffice #Privacy #InfoSec

     @hanscees @tdforg PowerPoint isn't from us – but if you mean LibreOffice Impress, then to select something on a slide, you can click on it. If you mean the text box is above a photo and you want to select the photo underneath it, this is explained in the online help: https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/simpress/guide/select_object.html

     @libreoffice @tdforg I am afraid the PowerPoint app is not easy to use. I have no idea howto get back from adding a text field to selecting a photo to resize. There seems to miss an icon to select things?

     @hanscees @tdforg Not sure what you mean by "select text in the ribbon", I'm afraid. Can you share a screenshot?

     @libreoffice @tdforg Yes I mean impress.
     If you have selected text in the ribbon above you cant select anything else anymore after that.It just makes a text where you click.
     How do you make it stop doing the text thing?

     @hanscees @tdforg Ribbon is a Microsoft thing, but we see now that you're talking about an icon on the toolbar. If you've drawn a text box and don't want to draw any more, hit Esc once or twice and you won't be in text box drawing mode.

     @libreoffice @tdforg
     Hi, thanks for answering, thats great.

     I mean the T-button in the ribbon, see?

     Once I click that I can't select anything in the page anymore. How do I get back to the state before the T was pressed?
