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?
