Right now I have to keep both OO and Libre installed. OO for re-printing all the documents created over the past 10 years. And yes, it is a BIG deal when the Judge's signature block ends up on a different page or all the Page X, Paragraph Y references in a document are no longer correct.
Surely you do proper linking of pages to these things? Then the page numbers are updated as things print. Having said that, I can agree about locations of things like images. I get Word docs all the time that contain images. They never render properly (screen or print). I am not talking little things. I just got a Word .docx file with scientific plots (jpegs) and when veiwed in OO or LO all the images were in Lilliput postage stamp sized boxes at the top of the first page. They should have been on various pages in locations with captions. These sort of things happen all the time. Our company has official Word templates for various doc types. I can seldom see things even close to correctly in OO/LO. A favorite is where everything prints on the first page, with the document content continuing in the 'box' on the first page well past what is viewable or printed. Of course, this could be a phenomena similar to old ME Explorer not rendering HTML properly and so sites made mods to get around that, thus breaking HTML correctness. Maybe the templates are the source of the error. And, of course, MS file formats are not publicly documented. It would be great to have a web site running whatever is the perfect version of OO/LO where you could upload a doc and have it rendered to, say, PDF. This would let you see if any problems are a local install thing. It would also become a repo of docs that have problems. Perhaps that could be leveraged into something that could help improve the situation?
