[resolved] LibreOffice 5.1.6.2 or LibreOffice 6.0.4

I am wondering about the pros and cons of installing LibreOffice 6.0.4 in my fresh instalation of Zorin Lite 12.3. I use Write a lot for my work, but most of times I cannot select text easily by scrolling for example - you can get a lot of text selecting and you cannot control the mouse (this happens in earlier versions too. I mean the ones that comes with the OS's, - also regardin Linux Mint).
Also if I save a file under "RTF" format, to open it with "wordpad" under my virtual box's windows 7, I got a lot of wrong caracters... (but this might be a problem among the applications)

I have been using 5.1.6.2 for a long time and all in all it seems realy stable for me, didn't experienced bad shut downs, non that I recall. However I asume it doesn't have all the features include in 6.0.4 , I don't know..... you may know better.

I have used LibreOffice 5.3.4, (in another computer) so I know there are some differences. However I wonder if I install the lastest LibreOffice version (6.0.4), would it ocupy many space of my disk?, and if some problems mentioned will be fixed.. My main concern is that this is a stable version.

To sum up which are the differences? Is it better to have 6.04 ?

There is also a version called Stable: LibreOffice 5.4.7 ...


Ps: I have just made a fresh install of Zorin Lite 12.3 (in Spanish) and realized LibreOffice is en english



Thanks and sorry for the long text.

I would always go for stable, and don't forget there is a slight lag as Zorin is a fork of Ubuntu so things filter through a bit more slowly to ensure stability of the OS. For installing into Spanish,

Thank you, and thanks for the link there's an spanish package to apply that I've already use, I guess that is your link about.
I would try the stable version.
I wonder if there are big differences with the one that come already with the system and if will take a much space of my disk.

Hi, I suggest you take a look at the official website of LibreOffice for the latest information:

It would appear you can now save documents as ePub files!

I have both installed on my machine it takes up more diskspace, but it lets me trial the new version without risking anything.
