If you want to know more about using LibreOffice, click on the Help menu. Otherwise, close
LibreOffice Writer by clicking the close button at the top-right of the window.
The Recommended Software tool
Although Raspbian comes preloaded with a wide range of software, it’s compatible with even
more. A selection of the best of this software, hand-chosen by the Raspberry Pi Foundation
and Raspbian project volunteers, can be found in the Recommended Software tool.
Note that the Recommended Software tool needs a connection to the internet. If your
Raspberry Pi is connected, click on the raspberry menu icon, move your mouse pointer to
Preferences, and click on Recommended Software. The tool will load, then begin downloading
information about available software.
After a few seconds, a list of compatible software packages will appear (Figure 3-18).
These, like the software in the raspberry menu, are arranged into various categories. Click on
a category in the pane on the left to see software from that category, or click All Programs to
see everything.

GETTING HELP
Most programs include a Help menu which has everything
from information about what the program is to guides on how
to use it. If you ever feel lost or overwhelmed by a program,
look for the Help menu to reorient yourself.
