I’ve been using LibreOffice extensively on Big Sur since the first dev beta. I mostly use calc, but occasionally word processor. One of the betas had a glitch that caused a crash when I tried to print, but it was resolved on the next Big Sur beta, and I’ve had no problems since. LibreOffice includes a spreadsheet creator, text edition tool, presentation creator, graphic editor, formula creator, and a database creation tool. I would like to know if I had a download or installation problem with the latest version of libre office for Mac, as it was written 'language: Italian' and instead all the buttons are in English. I just installed LibreOffice 7.1.2.2 on my Macbook Pro running Big Sur 11.3 and some important features are not working. The format paintbrush does nothing and when I go to print it fails with a 'printer error' dialogue box. When I do 'About LibreOffice', it thinks it's running in MAC OS X 10.16 environment.

• The text is blurred as described on Big Sur updated 15' MacBook Pro Retina, mid-2015, 2.2 quad-core i7, standard Iris Pro graphics, but is clear and normal on updated 21.5' iMac, late-2015, 2.8 quad-core i5, Iris Pro 6200 graphics. Both Macs with release version of Big Sur, and 7.0.3.1 LibreOffice.
• Is Libre Office compatible with Mac OS Big Sur? Asked 2020-12-29 02:06:43 +0200. Mags279 1 1 1 1. I am running Big Sur version 11.1 and can't seem to open Libre Office. Is there a patch or is it compatible? Edit retag flag offensive close merge delete. Use LibreOffice 7.0.4. Edit flag offensive delete link more add a comment.

Open Office Mac Big Sur

Some Apache OpenOffice users are reporting that version 4.1.8 is crashing on Apple macOS 11.0 (aka “Big Sur” or 10.16) when opening OOXML documents – like .docx and .xlsx. The error message is:

Libre Office Startet Nicht Mac Big Sur

OpenOffice quit unexpectedly

Here’s a video showing how it crashes (WebM version here):

One solution is to install LibreOffice, a more actively developed successor project. (OpenOffice’s last major release – 4.1 – was back in 2014.)

Libreoffice M1 Mac

LibreOffice has much better support for modern operating systems, and many other features too, such as OOXML export, an updated NotebookBar user interface, a cloud-based version and much more. This timeline shows the major releases:

LibreOffice 7.1 runs on macOS Big Sur, so download it here and carry on with your work. And there’s more to come: an optimised version of LibreOffice for Apple’s M1-based Macs is being developed, thanks to work from Collabora Productivity, a company in LibreOffice’s ecosystem. And more improvements for LibreOffice on macOS Big Sur are on the way – stay tuned!
