      Oh, I missed that. So you actually have an issue with MS Office to MS Office compatibility? How does that work with sending files to the customers then? They can't realistically be running MS Office 2007 too, can they?

      You know ... that's a good question.

      The last we checked, they were on version equal to our previous to ours.

      We definitely send PDFs to most.

      See? Your solutions always come around in the end!

        I like to believe that that is true 🙂

          Also wondering, for people who have had compatibility issues, was this with the modern XML formats or the old ones? Microsoft's move to XML formats is what really changed things.

          We've had compatibility issues with both formats, old and new. Sometimes they are barely noticeable but other time they are pretty severe. For example on this simple presentation, Impress on the right, changes the size of the title. Considering the page is simple text and a couple lists, it's quite strange is could have the title be the same size as the original.

            For me it was old ones. I was looking in 2008, shortly after Office 2007 and XML versions came out, but before we started using it.

            You're making it sound like things are much better today.

              @Romo Is that both office suites running on the same OS?

                  I noticed an improvement when the XML formats released. Don't know if things have improved since that point. I don't often see issues, but I don't often see attempts, either.

                  Sounds like we need to run some tests!

                    So can't be font related then.

                      These are exactly the types of problems that I saw back in 2008. Even as something as simple as what Romo is showing. Why are they different?

                        No, same computer same fonts.

                          Probably the same reason that web pages render differently in two different browsers. HTML and Word files are both XML markup files and Word/LibreOffice and IE/Chrome are really just XML browsers.

                            That actually makes total sense and means we'll never be able to fully flow from one to the other without these worries.

                              Not unless someone publishes an official "this is how it is supposed to render" document to follow. The rendering is a little subjective.

                              PDF is not subjective and avoids this problem.

                                Yeah, that's the kind of stuff we also saw.

                                Our reports are all chock full to the margin of tables and charts. You can imagine what happens.

                                  Do you have any generic reports to send around? Would be interesting to see how they turn out in LibreOffice here.

                                    Not really.

                                    I will see what I can dig up and report back.

                                      I wonder what happens if we open and then save in LibreOffice. We should be able to make PDFs to compare their outputs.

                                        I installed LibreOffice. I'll see what happens, and can redact some stuff and post.

                                        Not today, though.

                                            I just quickly opened one that looked complex and it looked fine.

                                            I reached out to our word processing team to get some samples of really complex stuff.
