Re: [libreoffice-users] Word won't open some .doc documents created in LO

Hi Eric,

those who use LibreOffice should check the following settings in 
LibreOffice:
Tools > Options > Load/Save > General ODF-format version
try 1.2 Extended (compatibility mode)
or compare with someone for whom it works.

and than have a look at:
Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > Compatibility
compare with someone for whom it works.

Good luck!

Freundliche Grüße
Harald
