When did you last try it? That certainly was the case 10 years ago or so, but current versions of Libre office at least in my experience, do pretty well with Microsoft Word layouts.
My other observation was that a lot of the "formatting" that I see in office documents is unnecessary and only there because the software makes it easy.

- DanBC 8y agoIs your link correct? Firefox on Linux tells me it's not redirecting correctly.

- mehrdadn 8y agoYes it is (though a redirect loop wouldn't be in my control anyways). It works fine for me in both Chrome and Firefox on both Windows and WSL. Most likely you're blocking cookies or some Google domains or something. Try on a clean browser. Or try wget --content-disposition "$link"
- veddox 8y ago> My other observation was that a lot of the "formatting" that I see in office documents is unnecessary and only there because the software makes it easy. The problem with that statement is: if a colleague sends me his Word document, I don't care how unnecessary his formatting may or may not be, I want to see the stupid thing on my laptop, preferably in the same state he saved it in! And right now, LibreOffice rarely delivers on that.
