Truly unfortunate – so now the experience from my partner is “LibreOffice sent a document that doesn’t look right” and the finger gets pointed at us - even after I showed him the document looking perfect in MSO 2013 on Windows 7….thanks Microsoft….thanks a lot. But what Microsoft Office doesn’t lack is a brilliant PR department who can convince people that OTHERS are to blame for these insanities. doc files should look the same in MS Office 2011 and MS Office 2013 – so why don’t they? Well, because Microsoft Office has some serious problems. The unfortunate truth is that situations like this make LibreOffice look bad despite it being completely out of our control to resolve. I decided to boot into Windows and test MS Office 2013 – guess what – was literally perfect. Sent my 35 page brief over to my partner using MS Office 2011 on OSX and it was a bit screwed up (not unusable but quite a bit changed in it including font size).
