I'm in a writers' critique group who distribute our monthly submissions
in .doc format for the sake of a member who doesn't think his system can
handle .docx. (But that's a different issue.)
One of our members composes his submission in LO Writer and saves as
.doc (which several of us do). But for some reason some of us are having
trouble opening that person's submissions in M$ Word (although they open
fine in LO Writer). Yet the member who just uses Word is not having
trouble opening the .doc file. (I suspect he has an older version of
Word, but it's hard to get that information from him.)
When I create a .doc file in LO Writer, I don't have trouble opening it
in Word.
The member whose .doc files we can't open tells me he's using Libra
Office 24.2 on Windows. (I assume he means LibreOffice.) It appears
that's a later version than the 7.3 I'm using on Windows.
So is this maybe a bug in 24.2?
