No matter who is at fault for the document incompatibility issue,
Ubuntu is wrong in claiming that they ship software which is "fully
compatible". You can see that a particular user is arguing that the
claim is true, so it is important that users who can objectively state
"I had a major compatibility issue" do so. This is not a technical
issue, it is a change to the wording of the website. If you know
Canonical, then you will know how important your mention of this issue
is on that bug.

I was able to open and display the file only on office.live.com. No
Linux-based software (LO, OOo, Abiword, Kword) could handle it. Here
is the OOo bug, as the LO bugtracker is not working at the moment:
