Re: [libreoffice-users] Bugs and Issue

Due to MSO's change of file formats, I always suggest the users of MSO 
use the pre-MSO2007 formats.  That way everyone who needs to access 
those files will not have any issues.  A .doc file will display 
correctly with MSO 2007 through 2013, but a MSO 2013 may not display 
correctly in MSO 2010 or 2007.  With using the pre-MSO2007 formats 
[.doc, .xls, etc.] then a great number of the non-MS office packages 
will also display their documents correctly.  Sure LO and AOO can 
read/write .docx, but with MSO's changing their format's internal 
workings, if their formats will not display correctly within their own 
line of office suites, then why use those formats.

Then there are the need to have other businesses or agencies share 
documents.  If one agency has bought the newest MSO office packages, and 
another still uses the older ones, then the possibility that all parties 
involved can use all the documents created is rather low.  Sure you 
could ask them to use the ODF formats, but most businesses seem not to 
want to change to "something new".  So if you can get them to use the 
MSO formats that everyone can read/write without any issues, then that 
is the first step in the process of document compatibility with "most" 
office packages.  Then you can start showing these businesses/agencies 
how well LO works and they will not have to pay MSO "blood money" the 
next time there is a need for more computers and more copies of an 
office package.
