We can use the .doc extension for this specific problem, but what if a document like this comes from external sources. Some of our users are already unhappy and unwilling to use LibreOffice and I they can complain about problems like this.
You can tell your external sources to send only .doc format or, better, .pdf files.

I see this recommendation "send sources as .pdf files" very often. Quite frankly, I really don't consider it a solution, except for legal and archival purposes. Why ? 1. It is another private format. Not as closed as it used to be, but still relevant on the "good will" of Adobe. I have yet to find a pdf file reader for Windows that does an equivalent job with font hinting and the like. 2. It screems "look but don't touch". Except for minor modifications using clunky techniques, the document cannot be modified and is much harder to annotate than a .doc or .odf document.
