Re: [libreoffice-users] advice

If you want "absolute assurance" then save/write your document to PDF 
format.

i don't use openoffice.  with the exception of some screwball canadians who
appear to be using wordperfect every individual to whom i send a business
document uses microsoft word.  i am a wordsmith, i have little use for
graphics.  however my document headings are formatted to give a decent title
page.  i found that when i created a simple title page in openoffice and
saved it in .doc format and then opened it with my microsoft word even the
simple text box and drawn black lines came back scrambled.  when i opened a
word document in openoffice it looked perfect, but then when i simply saved
it and re-opened it in word it was scrambled again.

i would love to use libreoffice to replace my office 2007.  however i need
near to absolute assurance that the document i create is going to be the
document my clients/associates/customers receive and to the best of my
knowledge every one of them will open it with some version of word.

this is far more important to me than any feature no matter what it might
be.  i cannot claim to be sending a client a renoir and have them open a
picasso.
