            Bug ID: 103208
           Summary: US Federal Courts require proposed orders in Word
                    format

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #90534 +++

(We'll probably close this issue as NOTOURBUG, but I wanted to split this
discussion out of #90534 to keep that bug a little cleaner, while still having
all of the pieces linked together)

Stephanie explains:
---
Finally, the court requires us to email Word versions of all proposed orders,
so even if you could create a beautiful pleading in LibreOffice, you would have
to be able to convert it to Word seamlessly. 
---

I'm confused by this requirement. Why would the court need an editable copy of
a proposed order? Do they ever edit these documents? Wouldn't a PDF version
suffice?

If a Word document (DOC or DOCX) is in fact required by State and/or Federal
law, we should investigate this dependency further, perhaps in the Marketing
Team.
