New Features

Styles for comments • Row/column highlighting in Calc • Options dialog search field

LibreOffice 24.2 is our latest major release, with a new "year.month" version scheme and many new features.

Styles for comments

Comments can now use styles. This makes it easier to modify the formatting of all comments at once, or to visually categorise different types of comments.

Row/column highlighting in Calc

You can now highlight the row and column for the active cell. Enable this feature via Tools ▸ Options ▸ LibreOffice Calc ▸ View, or through the menu entry View ▸ Column/Row Highlighting.

Options dialog search field

In the Tools ▸ Options dialog box, we've added a search feature to help you find options more quickly.

And much more
