If LO gets too similar to MSO's user interface, then MS could take TDF 
to court for "infringements" to their look and feel of their office 
packages.  Their pocked change is in the millions of dollars for legal 
fees to push any company away from looking too much like what they do. 
MS and Apple have patented things like "finger movements".  The pinch 
and page turning movements are patented by Apple so if they wanted, they 
could take EVERY tablet company to court to prevent them from using it.  
MS has patents like that. They could claim it and take a small company 
to court and break that company with legal fees.  MS has done that before.

SO
I do not want LO to look like MSO.  Actually I do not like MSO's ribbon 
look and feel.  I do not like MS Win8's tablet icon style of desktop, 
just like I do not like Unity's look and feel for Ubuntu [kept Ubuntu 
but switched to MATE d.e.].

The user interface designers did a lot of work to make it easy to use 
and to stay away from anything that might make a different office 
package company fee like we "stoletheir designs".

The "artwork on Writer"? Are you talking about MSO's clipart system? 
Patented, I believe. If the individual clipart file are not working with 
Writer, well that is a different question all together. Give us an 
example of the file mime type [.jpg, .png, .pic, .gif, .tif, and others]

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/CheatSheets
This is not finished, but on that page you will see a list of image file 
types that LO uses.  Many of the older file types are no longer used my 
most of the market.  I have some old Corel Draw clipart that I am 
converting over to other formats soLO, GIMP, and other image working 
package can deal with them.
