Re: [libreoffice-users] Bugs and Issue

Hi :)
Backwards incompatibilities are fairly understandable.  New features
added between 2007 and 2013 are unlikely to be able to be seen in
2007.  That kinda makes sense to me.

What doesn't make sense is how often files created using MS Office
2007 run into trouble in newer versions of MS Office, such as 2010
(I've managed to avoid 2013 and 365 so far!).  One of my clients was
running into so many problems with his new laptop's MSO 2013 failure
to handle files given to him by 2010 users that he finally allowed me
to install LibreOffice so that i can send him Odts.
Regards from
Tom :)
