Unfortunately LO can not handle most people's document requirements. Not at any fault of LO, it's Microsoft who make comparability hard or impossible. So when working with most people who will be using Office, LO will fail to correctly format a document.

I'm reminded of this great article on the subject

Unfortunately MS make everything a moving target.

To be a little fair to Microsoft, they have made it much harder to enable macros over the years. So when stuck with a bank's spreadsheet that requires a win32 macro to convert for upload, I blame the bank.

Luckily grey market keys for both windows and office are so cheap I can just relegate these to a VM for those times it's needed.

The above is probably enough to keep the typical user on Windows forever though.
