Also, I want to mention one additional point regarding this formula handling in
LibreOffice writer. I am working with standard Journal templates in LibreOffice
Writer for a long time. Whenever I am marking a simple text formula and
converting it directly to the OLE object (the aim is to convert the formula
text to standard formatted mathematical formula, similar to Smart Formula
conversion of MS Office), there are many wrong formatting present in the final
formatted OLE formula, which have to be corrected manually by following the
formatting rules of OLE in LibreOffice Writer, which is again a very difficult
process, unlike the hassle-free & error-free smooth process in  MS Office.
Again, we cannot simply revert the OLE formula to simple text by any option,
the only way is to copy the text from formula editor and then delete the OLE
object and then paste the text in that place. Not at all user-friendly.


Clearly LibreOffice Writer can beat MS Office if just 2 things are taken care
of:
1. keep the template format intact.
2. handle the formulas well.

Why am I saying that?
1. I have often seen, the official IEEE template, when opened with MS Office,
shows a particular margin space, but when the same template is opened with
LibreOffice Writer the margin space can be seen narrower, which indicates that
the original margin is somehow cannot be maintained in LibreOffice Writer for
some issue. This kind of formatting mismanagements are there in LibreOffice.

2. Whenever math formulas are handled in LibreOffice, there are hardships and
issues in various steps. It is not smooth and flexible to convert simple text
formulas to the standard formatted formulas and vice-versa. We have to manually
correct many errors when we convert a text formula directly to the OLE object
by selecting that part, which is rarely any issue in MS Office.

I want LibreOffice Writer to be the best. I am trying my best to identify the
issues while I am working with it in professional level.
