@3mind There's an enhancement request but nobody has stepped up to work on it (yet). LibreOffice is a volunteer-driven, community open source project with very limited resources. It can only happen if people get involved and help the volunteers to implement it, or fund developers 😊

I know that's not the most satisfying answer, but the LibreOffice community gets huge numbers of requests to implement things, and very few people actually volunteer to help out or fund developers...

@failedLyndonLaRouchite Hi! You can submit enhancement requests here: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org – Of course, we're a volunteer-driven project with limited resources, so if you can help us, even better 😊

Spreadsheet column and row highlighting coming in #LibreOffice 24.2, our next major release! (With new "year.month" version scheme.) Enable it in Tools > Options > LibreOffice Calc > View. Thanks to Sahil Gautam from our community for implementing this feature 😊 #foss #opensource

@curious_oecher Ahh, you mean templates? You can get many here: https://extensions.libreoffice.org/?Tags%5B%5D=118 – Of course, they're made by volunteers, so if you think they could be improved, please consider giving the volunteers a hand 😊

@curious_oecher Hi! "Professional looking design" is quite broad – what do you mean exactly? What type of interface?

@anandu @allotropia Glad you like it! 👍

@Jerschte Hi! For all help, please see: https://ask.libreoffice.org/c/german/6

@rodolforg @CollaboraOffice Yes! 👍

@sfwrtr You might find that Libreoffice is actually better at reading old Word files than Word.

It's tantalisingly close! 😍 #LibreOffice 24.2 (with new "year.month" version scheme) is our next major update – due in February.

@crash_override There are already SVG icons. But if you want more, you can help the Design community volunteers to implement what you need! https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design

Lots of new features coming in #LibreOffice 24.2, our next major release! (With new year.month version scheme.) For instance: small caps in Impress, thanks to Caolán McNamara @CollaboraOffice: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/24.2#Impress

@Cengiz14 Hi – for all help, please use: https://ask.libreoffice.org

@jeffcliff We actually listen to our users, and they tell us that a version number scheme that reflects when the software was released is important to them.

@oluthier Hi! The documentation is made by volunteers, so if it's lagging behind for some languages, please consider helping the volunteers to maintain them! Thanks!

@fjbaldon Looks like it was abandoned due to lack of activity. We're a volunteer-driven project with very limited resources, so if anyone wants to continue it, please feel free to 😊
