LO does a better job, ime, than trying to shift complex documents between
versions of MS Word itself.

Formatting issues are usually due to font substitution because of
differing available fonts.

Pretty much my experience.

Latest version of LO seems to be able to read latest MSwank format, and
is not overly burdened with ridiculous facilities that render it inoperable.

Its still ****e and Word in many respects though.

Next time I write a paper I might well use Scribus instead.
