There's no whining and trolling, and nobody hates Libroffice.
It's a discussion about facts which affect real life. When you have to
present at University/College, you urgently want your presentation to
have the same (=100% identical) look it had when you developed
it. Although Libreoffice and Microsoft Office are format-compatible,
layouts and formattings often don't look the same.
And this *is* a problem. A real one.

I have to agree.
For me, this has been an ongoing problem for years. OpenOffice and now
LibreOffice both have not formatted well when processing or producing
word docs.
MS Office formatting won't be preserved either, if you have two
otherwise identical machines with different printer drivers. There are
all sorts of things that will cause the layout to be inconsistent
between different machines. If you need consistent formatting use a PDF
or present the document on the machine you wrote it on. If you expect
anything else you have failed to both notice and understand what is
going on.
Now can we all stop feeding the trolls and let this thread die?
