Re: [libreoffice-users] LO 4.0 vs word editing
I started out using OOo back before you could read/write in .doc format 0.x.x or 1.x.x. When LO came around, I switched to it. I am currently using both 4.0.5 and 4.1.1 between my desktop and laptops. What do you refer to as a primitive Win7 box? I have a laptop that is from 2007 or 2008 that ran Vista, but now runs Win7 Professional. Also, I have one that I bought this year that runs Win7 Home Premium. Both are dual booting for Ubuntu and Win7. I have had little issues with LO on Win XP [still have a laptop with that], Win Vista [gone], and Win7 systems. Also, there is the collaboration with heavy editing statement. Yes, even if you have Win7 and Word 2010 on both systems, you still could have collaboration issues. I know of people that could not get it all of the bugs worked out to collaborate with each other sharing the files via email. They did not want to use the cloud. I have not read the other posts in this thread, but are you using any collaboration add-on or are you using the internal options for Word 20?? and LO.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO 4.0 vs word editing
Hi : Is it just some rendering issue? If you scroll so that the relevant bit goes off-screen and then scroll it back onto the screen then does it figure it out correctly?
