LibreOffice is an open-source cross-platform office suite, serving as a near drop-in replacement for Microsoft Office. It was forked from OpenOffice 3.3.0 and has gained ground in Linux distributions as the default office suite. It has replaced OpenOffice in Debian Wheezy and is available in squeeze-backports. It has good support for .doc, .xls, .odt, .ods and other popular formats.

LibreOffice is the default office suite in Debian Wheezy. You can also install it manually by using the following packages:

LibreOffice has following major components: libreoffice-writer, libreoffice-calc, libreoffice-impress, libreoffice-math, libreoffice-draw, libreoffice-base.
