Hi :)

Yes, pdf guarantees the document looks identical on any machine and so far lives 
up to that promise for me!  HOwever it is difficult to use if you have to 
collaborate.  I tend to use pdf and then open it with Gimp to make a few changes 
and then save and forward it as a gif to keep the size down.  Occasionally the 
pdf is much smaller than the gif.  Pdf does tend to be a very light format even 
woth pictures and stuff in it.

Regards from
Tom :)

i don't use openoffice.  with the exception of some screwball canadians who
appear to be using wordperfect every individual to whom i send a business
document uses microsoft word.  i am a wordsmith, i have little use for
graphics.  however my document headings are formatted to give a decent title
page.  i found that when i created a simple title page in openoffice and
saved it in .doc format and then opened it with my microsoft word even the
simple text box and drawn black lines came back scrambled.  when i opened a
word document in openoffice it looked perfect, but then when i simply saved
it and re-opened it in word it was scrambled again.

I often convert with OOo and now with LO to .doc. But I never had this
problems. Please can you show us an example (jpg)?

i would love to use libreoffice to replace my office 2007.  however i need
near to absolute assurance that the document i create is going to be the
document my clients/associates/customers receive and to the best of my

Please never use .doc, .odt or other formatted files for exchange of
documents. The best standard for this purpose is PDF. Convert your
documents at the end of work with LO to PDF (export to PDF) and send these
files to your clients/ associates/customers.


Have a nice day,
