From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The amount of times I've had this argument in the office is untrue. I think the default values aren't stored in the docx file or something like that, but when you manually set a value it does store it in the docx.
Then you have the whole proprietary blobs in a "open" standard to deal with.
The worst offenders are people who format with tabs and spaces and wonder why it's all messed up.
Every single docx file that I opened in a recent LibreOffice version looked exactly as intended. What features specifically are you talking about that dont work?
