2. Writer files are copied to my Fedora workstation.
Why don't you just copy the font files from Windows to your Fedora
system? Then you won't have to change it. Also, why are you copying
the content? You could copy the Doc files to Fedora and open them
directly in Writer. Save them in ODT format only when you need to edit
them.
I did some serious experimenting this past winter. Writer could not
adequately handle the word-2010 documents. I even tried first
converting the word-2010 documents to word-2016. Writer could not
adequately handle those. Either way, I lose roughly half the text, plus
some of the formatting other than fonts. It seems the problem is the
"frames" in the word documents. There is a LibreOffice bug on this. So
I find my wisest option is to convert the files to LibreOffice now, even
if it's somewhat manual. And the conversion must be done on the windows
box.
Thank-you, Samuel.
Bill.
