##### How to Upgrade to LibreOffice 5.2 on Linux Mint 18 #####

August 3, 2016 | LibreOffice 5.2 “fresh” released, for Windows, Mac OS and GNU/Linux

Explore new features:

The latest version of LibreOffice is available to install
from the official LibreOffice PPA

Step 1. Add the LibreOffice PPA to your Software Sources
Open terminal and type command below, then press ENTER
"sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa && sudo apt update"

Step 2. LibreOffice 5.2 uses the newer LibreOffice-GTK2,
so you need to manually remove the old version before LibreOffice can be upgraded:
"sudo apt remove libreoffice-gtk"

You can go forward on video during installation process, it takes long time
on my slow internet now.

Step 3. After that, upgrade to LibreOffice 5.2
"sudo apt dist-upgrade && sudo apt install libreoffice-gtk2 libreoffice-gnome"

After upgrade process I have LibreOffice v5.2.0.4

Thanks for watching.

how did you get the LibreOffice menu into docky?. I removed old LibreOffice, installed 5.2, but can only get say writer pinned to docky. Via writer i can select other parts of office.Cheer's
