To add a info: as https://win2k.org/blog/2019/03/22/1981317/ said NTDLL.dll of version 5.1.2600.6055 is good, I replaced current 5.1.2600.7682 with that 6055 (operated in recovery console mode, in windows\system32 and windows\system32\dllcache folder), and got a BSOD when restarting.

Why don't you try OpenOffice instead?

The last LibreOffice version compatible with XP is from July 23rd 2017, while OpenOffice is still XP compatible to this very day, in fact: https://www.openoffice.org/product/windows.html

Here's the download page: https://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html

Of course I didn't just limit myself to trust what they were saying on the website, I'm actually using OpenOffice on XP regularly and here you can see a screenshot with my XP running version 4.1.15 (i.e the latest version released on December 22nd, 2023.

 

 

You know, between a project who deprecated XP years ago and doesn't really care (LibreOffice) and one who keeps actively supporting XP (OpenOffice) I'll always pick the XP compatible one  

I always found LibreOffice to be unstable. OpenOffice is better.

The reason OpenOffice is still compatible with XP is because it hasn't received a major version update since 2014.

There is one other thing I wanted to mention. It's about document compatibility. I have old OpenOffice documents that were made before Oracle acquired it. I don't remember if it was 3.0 or something. Those documents either don't open or don't look good in any recent OpenOffice or LibreOffice. So be careful while upgrading.

Is there a LibreOffice (for xp) version higher than 5.4.7.2? Maybe someone did some fork (portable, for example) ... Do you know something about this?
