Hi,
Microsoft Office .doc file is not really the standard. Try saving the file in html & ODF(Open Document File). LibreOffice Internet Standard should be able to resolve your file problems.
LibreOffice has a /lot/ of issues rendering certain documents where as Apache's OpenOffice does not have any problems with them.
Try telling a government dept or large corporation to use ODF format, they'll quickly tell you to it isn't there problem, and rightly so.
Does default Winbloze 7/8 Doc readers or Office 2007+ handle ODF's? I know XP can't by default, and office 2003 can't by default if at all, and despite being dated, they are both very very heavily used in business and governments still.
I'm not sure what you are trying to say here but even MS Office versions cannot read documents produced by versions of MS Office :-D .
But what I am really waiting for is for Mark to come back to me about the screengrabs I posted in an earlier post and for him - or for others who also claim that his doc file is corrupted when viewed in LibreOffice - that what I posted does in fact show corruptions of his *.doc file because I see no corruption (maybe it's because I just got new spectacles? :-) ).
Also I would like to know why he is using for his newsletter the font Comic Sans MS which is what my copy of LIbreOffice 4.0.0.1RC1 is showing me.
What font do other people using LO see when they try to view his *.doc file - I'm curious, so indulge me please :-) .

I have been finding that OpenOffice is a bit ahead of Libre in some respects. You'll probably have to go find it on the web and download it--most distros don't have it anymore--but it will live peacefully side-by-side with LO, so you can try the one when the other doesn't work. (I can't say that this will solve your problem, only that it's worth a try.)
Ummmm..... I am not the one having problems :-) . I am more than happy with LO as it is behaving exactly as I want it to behave.
