That can even come down to printer drivers. You can open up a new document on Office 2007... create/edit/layout the contents. Move that document to another computer running Office 2007 but with a different printer driver as default and the layout will change (I used Office 2007 as an arbitrary example here... could be any equivalent versions). Then add to the mess by changing Office version and you have yet again a whole new layer of incompatibility or changes. Try creating a presentation in PowerPoint2010 with nice transitions etc.. then open that same document (if you can) in Office 2003... you won't have the exact same presentation anymore.
People are using any number of combinations of MS Office and printer drivers. Anything you create in MSO has a good chance of being borked in any other random version of MSO. You will find the same level of oops in LibreOffice.
Which is why, if I want to have control over the presentation of anything I send out, I use PDF. -- Any simple problem can be made insoluble if enough meetings are held to discuss it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
