Comment on "LibreOffice is better at reading old Word files than Word"

Either word sucks at opening any format output by libreoffice, or libreoffice can’t save a docx or any format in a word compatible way because everything I send to a word user is all messed up.

A lot of things like online job applications specifically force docx

yea i know. i heard docx is intentionally very badly documented and complex just to make ppl pay for microsoft word for things like that. which explains why docx suffers from so many compatibility issues.
then again, when i sent out job applications i could always send it as a pdf.
