dgul Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Many businesses and educational establishments still use Ms Office as a "benchmark"....I've used Google Docs, Libre Office & Open Office, and I've found that when exporting from GD, OO or LO to Word, it makes a right pigs ear with the formatting...If you export it as a docx format, and look at it in Word viewer, it looks nothing like what you've done. Its a right faff. You've got to remember that MS makes this so. They could sort it all out so that everyone could write to their format easily - but it isn't in their interests to do that. The formatting problems aren't Google being crap at formatting... Of course this doesn't actually solve the problem. You still can't reliably use any alternative, especially when the formatting is complex. But it is another example of MS using their market position to suppress competition.
