Hi :)
It's quite likely. A bug-report is a good idea. An example file might help.
Btw i assume your MSO users have stuck with some ancient version of MSO, such
as 2007 or something? I think the compatibility with 2013 is better and that
is likely to create problems with compatibility with older versions of MSO.
This implication concerns me! If LO is going to drop .doc as a
standard, then my advice to others to use .doc instead of .docx as a
common interchange standard is in jeopardy. I hope LO never drops .doc
as a standard. That said, I had to open a .docx form I received the
other week and LO opened it fine, with the exception of the usual font
size problems that ran text off the right margin. That was easily fixed
by changing the font size.

Are you sure it's .Doc rather than .DocX that is causing the problem? Most MSO
users have no idea how to save in anything other than DocX so it's FAR more
likely they are sending you DocX files and not even realising it or even
believing they are sending Doc because they just don't really know what they
are using and just jumping on the last name they vaguely recognise. Windows
tries to hide the endings so they really don't know what they are using most of
the time.
Doc itself is being deprecated in order to push people into using the newer
DocX and thus forcing people to buy newer versions of MSO even if it's to do
exactly the same work that MSO 2003 and earlier could do.

Subject: [libreoffice-users] MS file compatibility in 4.0+ - comments in .doc
Ever since 4.0 I have had increasing problems with file compatibility with
MSO...
Currently I am working on a project with MSO users and when I open a .doc
which contains any comments, what happens is the last character BEFORE the
comment anchor is reduced in font size, and therefore when you delete the
comment, you now have to go into the text to fix the font size.
Anyone had the same? I think it's time for a bug report.
