Re: [libreoffice-users] MS file compatibility in 4.0+ - comments in .doc

Hi :)
It's quite likely.  A bug-report is a good idea.  An example file might help.  

Btw i assume your MSO users have stuck with some ancient version of MSO, such as 2007 or something? 
 I think the compatibility with 2013 is better and that is likely to create problems with 
compatibility with older versions of MSO.   

Are you sure it's .Doc rather than .DocX that is causing the problem?  Most MSO users have no idea 
how to save in anything other than DocX so it's FAR more likely they are sending you DocX files and 
not even realising it or even believing they are sending Doc because they just don't really know 
what they are using and just jumping on the last name they vaguely recognise.  Windows tries to 
hide the endings so they really don't know what they are using most of the time.  

Doc itself is being deprecated in order to push people into using the newer DocX and thus forcing 
people to buy newer versions of MSO even if it's to do exactly the same work that MSO 2003 and 
earlier could do.  
Regards from 
Tom :)
