Question about LO Writer and "complex documents"

users
#1

As for me, I much prefer to use LO.

       Although it's not compatible with MSFT; this makes it difficult to
send a document to someone.
          I will then - if a small document, copy/paste into an e-mail or
         save as MSFT to send to them -

       and while so doing, I'm thinking, why, oh why, doesn't everyone
download LO -
          I eliminated this compatibility problem with PPs by merely
switching to videos :wink:

       AND a definite plus for LO, when these inane MSFT hold-outs make
their documents, then send to me ... when I open in LO then save as such,
the KBs are drastically reduced ... ... ... (I guess that's due to all the
gobbledygook which MSFT adds to their program for whatever reason)

       I'm not sure what you consider a complex document, but my documents
run the gamut from pamphlets to books with images scattered throughout &
sometimes tables ... and tables are so much easier to do in LO yet next to
impossible to line up in MsFT; these really frustrate me when I have to
save as MSFT to send out :wink:
          [I'll sometimes photograph them so they can be sent as an image
:wink: ]

       Well, that's my experience,

This is simply a false statement. "It's not compatible." Please don't give
new users a false impression of the product. It is compatible in the
majority of cases, yes there are *some* issues but often times (including
with "complex documents") everything works fine. LibreOffice can open and
save to proprietary OOXML formats and in most cases it's seamless or close
to seamless.

Best,
Joel

That literally depends upon how "compatibility" is defined.

There are use-cases where MSO 2013 is completely, utterly, and
absolutely incompatible with MSO 2013, when installed on a different
computer.

There are use-cases when MSO 2013 and OOo 1.x are completely compatible
with each other.
