I agree with his point but as I stated I do not have any MicroSoft Office Software. I strictly use Linux and LibreOffice. The sample document is one sent to be from Canada by a user and I've tried to convince them to save it as .doc but I'm the only one so far not using XP, Vista or Win 7/8. I even tried to have them send it as a .pdf but that was above some of their knowledge level. I would say about 70% of the douments I recieve today are .docx. I have no problems with the text only ones. When I send them a document I usually save it as .pdf or .doc and it is all correct. its the incoming ones with graphics that I cannot control. I doubled the memory available for LibreOffice as suggested on mailing list but it did not help. I appreciate you help and comments.
