Hi :) Yes, pdf guarantees the document looks identical on any machine and so far lives up to that promise for me! HOwever it is difficult to use if you have to collaborate. I tend to use pdf and then open it with Gimp to make a few changes and then save and forward it as a gif to keep the size down. Occasionally the pdf is much smaller than the gif. Pdf does tend to be a very light format even woth pictures and stuff in it.

I often convert with OOo and now with LO to .doc. But I never had this problems. Please can you show us an example (jpg)? > i would love to use libreoffice to replace my office 2007. however i need > near to absolute assurance that the document i create is going to be the > document my clients/associates/customers receive and to the best of my Please never use .doc, .odt or other formatted files for exchange of documents. The best standard for this purpose is PDF. Convert your documents at the end of work with LO to PDF (export to PDF) and send these files to your clients/ associates/customers.
