     The problem is the same as it always has been: a file created by 
one program does not always look the same when viewed in another 
program. This has been known to happen even in different versions of 
Word. PDF was designed to prevent this problem, so I doubt that it is a 
matter of the client "has to use ..." but rather is a good choice.
     Specifically, Word uses background images in different way than 
LibreOffice. As a test, I opened an .odt file using Abiword which is 
suppose to use ODF formats. It had some graphics that Abiword rendered 
as small thumbnails. It had a numbered list that covered several 
paragraphs. Abiword put them into a single paragraph while wrapping text.
