[Solved] LibreOffice 7.6 on Debian 12 stable replacing 7.4x

Hi,

Using Debian 12 stable which comes with LibreOffice 7.4. Unfortunately Calc has a bug where the cell height doesn't auto-expand to fit a multi-lines content. I was told that this has been fixed in LibreOffice 7.6. Is it possible to uninstall the LibreOffice 7.4x version from bookworm stable repo and replace it with LibreOffice 7.6x? It looks like I have some choices. Can you please suggest the best alternative?

1) The LibreOffice documentation Installing LibreOffice on Linux shows it is possble to download LibreOffice_7.6.6_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz and install manually all the DEBs packages

2) The post in this forum [Software] How to get latest Libre writer in Bookworm? shows that the bookworm-backports repo could have a more up-to-date libre office. But the exact installation instructions are missing.

3) Run LibreOffice in a containerized environment like Flatpak which I am not familiar with.
