Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice paragraph styles exported to other software/formats?

Hi :)
Tweaking in MS office is probably the best time to convert Doc to DocX.  

However you then risk the DocX looking different if they are not using the same version of Windows 
and the same version of MSO.  Mind you any editable format changes a bit due to external issues 
such as different printer, and other unlikely factors.  So i guess Doc or DocX should look fine as 
long as you don't need an exact match.  
Regards from 
Tom :)

Hi Tom :-)

I can probably get away with sending .docs, but I would like the
    option to convert to .docx later if need be. At the final stages I
    can work on an MS computer in MS Office.

The documents have no images, they are basic articles with only
    prose and references. They need to look pretty professional though.
    Thanks for the suggestion regarding PDFs — I'll most likely do that.
    My current plan is to create a LibreOffice template and apply it to
    the docs and then tweak them later on an MS machine.

Many thanks for the help.

Regards,
Ryan
