Description Beeza 2019-08-01 21:18:13 UTC
Created attachment 153100 [details]
Original DOCX and PDF'S of it generated by LO and OnlyOffice.

When Writer is used to display a DOCX format document, the result is usually faithful to the original created on MS Word when the document consists of just text.

I have noticed that when the document contains text boxes and/or graphic objects the reproduction relative to the original is often poor.

The last few days I have been evaluating an office suite called "OnlyOffice". In trying to look and behave like MS Office it fails on many levels. However, it does display DOCX documents containing graphics objects and text boxes exactly as in MS Word.

OnlyOffice is open source and licensed GPL V3. This means that its method of rendering DOCX files must be freely available for peer review. Perhaps this could provide a shortcut to closing the compatibility gap between MS Office and LibreOffice.
