There are two strategic decisions for you to consider. If you have no
interest/desire to promote the benefits of odf, open your wallet and
buy m$. Any problems you have with compatibility, legibility, bugs,
etc. then become a problem for you to solve by contacting m$. In other
words, do not waste LO programmers' time to resolve your desire to use
LO as a free m$o clone.

As is often asked to m$ fans: have you made a financial contribution
to LO programmers to help you to perpetuate m$ file formats, via LO???
Every time you ask such compatibility complaints, please open your
wallets! Those that want to continue the dominance of m$ should at
least pay for the privilege...

If you want to contribute towards reaching a future when "most of the
world" are at least _aware_ of odf, you should: (a) send documents in
pdf to view or odf to edit and tell your recipients about your use of
LO to produce your documents in pdf & odf; (b) send documents in odf11
and tell your recipients that such documents will be visible in m$o
but the quality will be poor, otherwise recommend use of LO to
view/edit document to high quality.
