Onedrive is shrinking

Yeah, that's the kind of stuff we also saw.
Our reports are all chock full to the margin of tables and charts. You can imagine what happens.
-
Do you have any generic reports to send around? Would be interesting to see how they turn out in LibreOffice here.

Not really.
I will see what I can dig up and report back.
-
I wonder what happens if we open and then save in LibreOffice. We should be able to make PDFs to compare their outputs.
-
I installed LibreOffice. I'll see what happens, and can redact some stuff and post.
Not today, though.
-
Good luck.

I just quickly opened one that looked complex and it looked fine.
I reached out to our word processing team to get some samples of really complex stuff.
-
Awesome. At least we know it isn't blatantly awful.

Well, one file does not a test make.
Also, it HAS been 10+ years.
-
It was probably OpenOffice too, not LibreOffice. Not that they aren't basically the same thing but LibreOffice, I think, has put more work into compatibility than OpenOffice did.
And the LibreOffice 5 family is out now, too. Lots of advancements there.
-
Second file I tried was messed up.
Not terribly, but lots of issues.
I wonder, though, if it was CREATED in LibreOffice if it would open OK in MS Office?
-
That is the biggest question, really. And also, if it was saved as a DOCX or an ODT from LibreOffice.
