[libreoffice-users] Re: Libra Office and MS Word compatibility query

I realize I'm late to this conversation, but I take a completely 
different approach to the problem mentioned in  OP's post.

Unfortunately, it's breaking an old paradigm to team editing of 
documents, and it's tough to sell.

Everyone has programs they prefer.  Maybe Word, maybe Pages, maybe LO, 
maybe Abiword, etc.  They are used to them, and efficient with them. 
Let them use what they want.

To be efficient in getting the teamwork done, and to keep innumerable 
versions under control, only the original creator should modify the 
document.

For sending copies around to other team members for input, export/save 
the document in PDF file format, password protecting it so the recipient 
cannot directly modify it or copy/paste the contents.  Have the 
recipients use the PDF reader's annotation function to note the changes 
the recipient would like to see.  Save the annotated file with a 
modified filename, and return.  (Note, a filenaming convention also 
needs to be used.)

The OP can now sort through all the suggestions, and edit the original 
document as needed, combining the various versions from the recipients.
