Using LibreOffice in this way is beyond the scope of this article, which is intended simply to provide information on how to install it correctly. This means that you'll need to become familiar with using LibreOffice using command line commands rather than your typical point-and-click environment. The difference in this type of installation versus a standard installation for LibreOffice is that it is inside your server, which is not like a local computer where you are not using a GUI (graphical user interface). You can export your data in any of the above types (and others, including PDF, RTF, TXT, HTML, and others). LibreOffice also has native support for a modern open standard format called the Open Document Format (ODF). In addition, LibreOffice supports the document formats used by Microsoft such as Microsoft® Word (.doc.

The appearance of these programs through the graphical interface is very similar to that of Microsoft, so if you are familiar with Microsoft Office and its use, you will probably feel at home using LibreOffice in its graphical format.
