At least it can render the document correctly in Word Online, last time I gave LibreOffice something complex the fonts and formatting were messy (same goes for Apple’s built in Word previewer, which I’m pretty sure hasn’t been updated since iPhone OS 1.0).
- tyingq 6y ago"At least it can render the document correctly in Word Online" Sometimes. Online Word chokes on many things, and misses simple stuff like center aligned columns.
- kiwijamo 6y agoIt's almost never the same layout as in proper Word even for simple documents. It's only really useful for shared documents you don't need to print etc.
- vetinari 6y ago> the fonts and formatting were messy Did you have these fonts installed, or LO was forced to use substitutes with slightly different metric? Just having identical fonts available is 99% of solving the layout problems.
- davidgerard 6y agoI'm inclined to think this is, almost entirely, a fake objection - just something people feel they have to claim about LO. Google Docs is absolutely bloody useless at DOCX reading in every way, and messes up quite simple documents, but nobody ever raises this objection. LO is really fantastically good at reading the fake standard called DOCX. In my experience, it handles it more consistently than MS Word - which is notoriously incompatible with other versions of itself. Put it this way: I believe this class of objection when the objector links the LO bug, with a test document.
