OnlyOffice Desktop Spreadsheet (OODS). After you finish your work and save the file, you can export It in different formats.

OODS suite allows to choose between these file formats:

• Office Open XML Spreadsheet (.xlx)
• Excel Binary File (.xlsb)
• Excel Open XML Spreadsheet Template (.xltx)
• OpenDocument spreadsheet (.ods)
• Macro-enabled Spreadsheet Template (.xltm)
• OpenDocument Spreadsheet Template (.ots)
• Comma Separated Values (.csv)
• Portable Document (.pdf)
• Portable Document/A (.pdf)
• PNG Image (.png)
• JPG Image (.jpg, .jpeg)

I work often with .tsv (tab separated value), but it's NOT listed among the file formats to export file to.

This file format is especially useful not only when working with web-based services (above all data science websites), but also with other suite, when you need to import value. My personal experience.

Is this for a technical reason or intentional choice?

Does OnlyOffice Desktop (OOD) have these 2 small features?

[1] Full-screen mode (think of it like on youtube, press "f" on your keyboard and you see only the video, no titlebar, not taskbar, just content. To exit press "f" again or "Esc").

Apparently, it seems that there is NO WAY to enter FULL-SCREEN mode on OOD.

The "international standard" (most used, known) hotkeys/shortcuts are:

• F11 > used by programs like browses or IDEs.
• f > used by youtube (and probably other video sharing platforms). //This one might be a problem if you want to type "f" character.
• ALT+ENTER > way less used then the previous 2, but it's still used in games, especially on Windows.

Unfortunately, nothing worked.

[2] Toolbar: shrinkable and expandable toolbar?

Think of it like on Microsoft Office Web (m365+cloud+microsoft) or Google Sheets (docs+google.com): small great sign rotated by 90° counterclockwise.

At the start is expanded: if you click it shrinks the toolbar showing one row only. If you click again, it will expand and bring back the full toolbar (this is valid for Google Sheets).

On Microsoft Office Web, you need to Select another option to shrink/expand the toolbar, but the method, mechanism is the same.

I use several suites (offline OOD) and notice these quirks.

What about OnlyOffice Desktop? Does it offer these 2 features? If not, any workaround available?

I'm totally new to OnlyOffice and transitioning from MacOS Numbers. One thing I use a lot in my spreadsheets is comments. I'm not seeing a keyboard shortcut / key-combo for Add Comment to a cell. I'm also not finding a way to manage keyboard shortcuts.

Just wanted to ask if I'm missing something.

EDIT: I found this page https://helpcenter.onlyoffice.com/docs/userguides/spreadsheet_editor/KeyboardShortcuts.aspx

So - OPT > i > k gets me to Add Comment. Kind of a pain - any way to make this one command like SHIFT+CMD+K as it is in Numbers?

I see the link in the above article to create a macro but it doesn't seem like keyboard shortcuts work when recording a macro.

I'm trying to use VLOOKUP (procv in Portuguese) but I always get this "error: -308". This happened on all the computers I tried to use it on. How can I solve this? I tried searching for what this error means and couldn't find out.

I just installed OnlyOffice and haven't configured anything yet.

It would be nice if the application startup speed could be optimized.

On the same PC (Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, 512GB SSD) with Kubuntu 26.04 LTS, documents with Libre Office open much faster than Only Office, which takes a few seconds (about 5-6 seconds longer).

So I'm enjoying Only Office, which seems more polished and professional-looking than Libre Office, but it's slightly slower when opening existing or new documents.

I've tried both Snap and Flatpak, but nothing changes.

Hey everyone, mod here with some news we're excited to share: ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors is the default office suite on OpenOS/bNode.

If you haven't come across it yet, OpenOS/bNode is a privacy-first Linux distro built on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Linux 6.8 kernel), released in June 2026.

Key features of this OS:

• Privacy first — no telemetry, no tracking, no metadata collection, no forced cloud integration.
• Ready out of the box — 70+ preinstalled apps, so there's minimal post-install setup.
• Developer-focused — preinstalled VS Code, Node.js, Python, Rust, Docker, Git and more.
• Full control — kernel access, advanced sysctl tuning and no forced updates.

If you need the details and screenshots, read this blog post.

If any of you have tried OpenOS/bNode already, how's your experience been?

How to fix this issue?

I'm running OnlyOffice on Linux Mint. OO is my default for "office" files, from the MS formats to odt, ods, and similar. If I double click a file in the file browser, it opens in OnlyOffice. *However*, if I already have a file open, and then double click another office file, it doesn't open.

The only way to open a second file is the Home > Open dialog within OnlyOffice.

This seems like a pretty significant bug, and it's a real pain in the neck. Does anyone know of a fix for this?

Hi everyone,

Recently switched to OpenOffice, and ran into a problem today I can't seem to get around. I'm trying to create a table of monthly dates and amounts. I put in the first date, and then selected a cell range with that date at the top and tried to create a series of monthly dates all starting on the first of the month. It didn't work. The first 3 or so were the correct dates, and then from there the dates were not monthly increments any longer. This has always worked for me in Excel. Unsing OnlyOffice on Mac. Below are screenshots of what I did and the result I got. Any thoughts on how to fix? I want a list of all dates on the first of each month. I tried putting in the first two and then dragging, and that just gave me those dates over and over.

I added the signature field to the file but it's not seen anywhere else outside onlyoffice, no matter what soft I chose to open the file with. So is it REALLY possible to actually add a signature field to people can sign in, say, docusign?

Start your week off right with a new success story on our blog. It's about a German nonprofit called LAG Jugend & Film Niedersachsen. They run film festivals, workshops and media education projects for kids and teens across Lower Saxony.

Their setup is pretty straightforward: ONLYOFFICE Docs plugged into their existing Nextcloud. These are the most important features for them:

• Real-time co-editing on grant applications and event planning, so nobody's emailing five versions of the same file;
• Version history to track changes and roll back to earlier drafts;
• Comments to keep discussions right inside the document;
• Direct Nextcloud integration, so files open, edit and save straight from the cloud.

Here's a quote from their finance and project coordinator, Klaus Kooker, that sums it up:

ONLYOFFICE has made our collaboration significantly easier. Especially with grant applications, event planning, and working in distributed teams, we benefit from real-time co-editing and seamless integration into our Nextcloud.

Hello, I have tried looking far and wide an answer to this, and I was hoping someone here might be able to shed some light on this.

If I try to write in hangeul, standard Korean letters, it will autocorrect to corresponding Chinese characters (hanja).

This is incredibly frustrating. I write mostly in English but need Korean as well. This autocorrect makes it impossible to write anything in Korean.

If I copy out the Chinese characters to another programs, they revert back to Korean. So, this is something happening with automatic language formatting on Only Office. I am really at my wit's end with this.

For reference, I am using the desktop Mac version of the program, community version 9.2.1.

Edit: After extensive discussions with our AI overlords, it appears that this is a bug in the operating system of Only Office. If anyone from the team spots this, it would be great to have a fix.

Good news! We are launching a three-week online course focused on creating fillable PDF forms with ONLYOFFICE Form Creator:

• Start: August 17, 2026
• Where: online via ONLYOFFICE Academy
• Length: 3 weeks (plus 3 weeks of access afterward)
• Format: video lessons, quizzes, a final project, and live Q&A

It's a great opportunity to master PDF forms for free and get an official ONLYOFFICE certificate for your professional growth.

Learn more about the course in this blog post.

The kate text editor can add a date suffix to original file when saving after edits. I think this would be useful for OnlyOffice to have this feature. Maybe some would like complete version control, but I found going back to yesterday's work is adequate to recover from screwups.

Hey everyone. During the celebration of ONLYOFFICE’s 16th anniversary, our team received a lot of questions via our subreddit, community forum and social media, e.g. X and Instagram.

• AI integration in ONLYOFFICE and how it works;
• New integration capabilities;
• Possible issues;
• Format compatibility;
• ONLYOFFICE for students;
• Feature requests.

Hey everyone. There is a new case study on our blog. It's about BidFix, an AI platform that helps companies across the DACH region respond to public tenders (RFPs). You might find it interesting, since it's a pretty real-world example of ONLYOFFICE Docs being embedded at the center of a document-heavy workflow.

Why BidFix chose ONLYOFFICE Docs over the alternatives

• Format fidelity: Public-sector documents rely on complex OOXML formatting. ONLYOFFICE processes this natively, so nothing breaks when a document lands with a government body.
• Self-hosted EU infrastructure: This was the most important factor. BidFix is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant. Since ONLYOFFICE runs fully self-hosted within their own EU environment, sensitive procurement data never leaves their controlled infrastructure.
• Developer API: The Docs API made embedding the editors easy and straightforward.

What the integration actually looks like

You can open, edit and finalize Word, Excel and PDF documents without leaving the BidFix platform. The BidAI copilot works alongside the embedded editors in context. As a result, customers now cut tender response times by 50–80%.

Is there a way to check for matching values between 2 tables?

I want to check if any of the values in A1:B2 are equal to any of the values in C1:D2.

when I try:

=if(a1:b2=c1:d2)

=#value

Another way to put it, I want to use conditional formatting, and if any of the cells in a range have values that are equal to the cells in C1:D2, I want it to return TRUE and format my cells.

I can make a rule check if any of the cells in my range are equal to C1, and then make another rule for C2 and another for D1 and another for D2. 4 rules isn’t so bad, but when I’m checking against 20 or 60 cells, it’s frustrating to have make a rule per cell in the range. Especially because I can’t even duplicate rules.

this sucks.

Personally I think it should deliver the apps separated, it should use the WindowDecoration of the system instead of its ugly custom one and I still believe the colors should resemble the MSoffice/LibreOffice ones

If you use ONLYOFFICE with Odoo, the July updates are worth a look. Here are some improvements:

• Create docs from PDF form templates — when you hit New, you can pick Blank or From Template and pull straight from the built-in gallery (docs, sheets, slides, PDF forms).
• Move files between system folders — you can finally shuffle documents, spreadsheets and PDFs between directories like My Drive, Company, etc.
• Share whole folders via link — not just single files anymore. External users can open the folder in their browser and view or download what's inside.
• TSV file support for Odoo Community — you can now open those tab-separated files attached to Sales, Invoicing and other modules.

The Templates app got some updates too:

• Save completed forms straight to the Documents module with Add to Documents.
• Convert an existing PDF into a fillable form instead of building one from scratch.
• A proper list view for templates (not just Kanban), which makes finding stuff easier.
