+LibreOffice 7.4 is Here With WebP Support and Powerful Enhancements for MS Office Interoperability
+======
+LibreOffice 7.4 is an exciting release with WebP support, performance boost, and MS Office compatibility improvements.
+
+![LibreOffice 7.4 is Here With WebP Support and Powerful Enhancements for MS Office Interoperability][1]
+
+LibreOffice 7.4 community edition is a major upgrade to the previous release after six months.
+
+With LibreOffice 7.4, The Document Foundation mentions that the development is now focused on “**interoperability**” with Microsoft's proprietary file formats.
+
+While this is great news for users migrating away from MS Office, the upgrade also introduces some cool features. Here, let me highlight the best parts of the release.
+
+### 🆕 LibreOffice 7.4: Overview
+
+As usual, every LibreOffice update brings in enhancements to all of its programs that include **Writer, Calc, Impress & Draw, Base, Chart, and Math**.
+
+![LibreOffice 7.4: New Features][2]
+
+Overall, the key refinements include:
+
+* New open-source grammar checker integration, i.e., [LanguageTool][3].
+* WebP image support.
+* Performance improvements to Calc.
+* Support for 16,384 columns in spreadsheets.
+* Improved typographic settings in Writer.
+* Master slide improvement for Impress & Draw.
+* Import/Export enhancements for DOCX, PPTX, and a couple other file types.
+* New macro scripting resources for power users.
+* Experimental dark mode support for Windows 10/11.
+
+Let us explore a few things about the major additions.
+
+### LanguageTool Integration
+
+![][4]
+
+With LibreOffice Writer, one can use LanguageTool API for grammar checking.
+
+If you did not know, [LanguageTool][5] is a remarkable open-source alternative to tools like [Grammarly][6].
+
+Our team uses it to proofread and edit articles as well. You can enable the LanguageTool integration under the **Language** settings.

+
+### WebP Image Support
+
+If you recently tried saving an image from the internet, it is most likely a **WebP**file.
+
+It is now the predominantly used image format (developed by Google) on the internet with the best compression/quality balance.
+
+LibreOffice 7.4 added support for WebP image import/export. So, you can work with any image file format you want now.
+
+### MS Office Compatibility Improvements
+
+With the upgrade, several refinements for **lighting extruded custom shapes**were worked upon to make rendering more compatible with MS Office binary formats.
+
+When importing a DOCX/PPTX file, LibreOffice 7.4 now doesn't miss fetching the tables, images, and linked media files. Furthermore, if you had a missing embedded video file when exporting a PPTX file, that has been fixed.
+
+If you wanted to unlock protected change tracking of DOCX files, you should now be able to do it without any hiccups.
+
+### Other Refinements
+
+There are numerous under-the-hood changes, and feature additions that should elevate your user experience with LibreOffice programs.
+
+Things like new macro resources, a search field in the extension manager, and performance tuning, makes this an exciting release.
+
+You can read all the technical details in its [official changelog][9] and more about the release/enterprise plans on its [announcement blog post][10].
+
+### 📂 Download LibreOffice 7.4.0
+
+LibreOffice 7.4 is available through the [official download webpage][11].
+
+You can find deb, and rpm files along with packages for Windows and macOS (Intel/ARM).
+
+Torrent file is also available for a smooth download experience. If you already have it installed on your system, expect an update in the next few days/weeks, depending on your Linux distribution. You can also use the Flatpak package for faster access to the latest version.
