How do I - and can I - used Writer offline?
I’ll be traveling in a few weeks and want to be able to work on my writing while on the plane and waiting at the airport.
Thank you.
LibreOffice is installed on your computer and does not need an internet connection to operate. It will check online for program updates, probably once a month, when there is an internet connection.
This gives you independence from the internet. It also means that you are the only one responsible for saving and for backing up your work. See:
- File management - The Document Foundation Wiki
- Preventing data disaster - The Document Foundation Wiki
If your files are held in a cloud service, follow the instructions of that service to keep a synchronised local copy.
Happy travels, Al

If you need the offline HELP feature, the localised offline HELP must be installed separately on Windows.
