Again, do you mind if I quote? I'm a journalist, and I cover Free Software.

This case is probably not alone.
My daughter sent her homework home from school as a .docx from MSO 2010.
It opened terribly on her MSO starter 2010 version at home, hardly
repairable.
It opened better in LO and could be repaired, completed and sent back.

Normally the list is about problems and solutions.

So I wanted to share something with everyone that is positive.

My son has a school supplied laptop that only has MS Office (XP).  It is
locked down so tight that we can't install anything onto it.

He prepared his Powerpoint presentation (in .ppt), put it on a USB key
and took it to school.

But it wouldn't load on the PC at school running MS Office 2007.  :-(

It also wouldn't open on my Mac running Office 2011.  :-(
I tried Office 2011 because I thought the MS formats would be
compatible.  Wrong.

I use Libreoffice more than Office so I thought we would try it.  (I
also test the betas)

The presentation opened without any problem.  We saved it to PDF so he
could take it to school.  The pdf worked OK.

So all you developers, be pleased with your work!  It is getting better
and better.  In many cases, I now see it is better than MS Office!
Congratulations!

A win for Libreoffice!!
