Hi :) I would definitely prefer that people do ask us so that they can get the truth of it and then maybe test what we say to confirm it.
The other option is to ask MS why and their answer will be that they have to buy their latest version of their MS Office and then put up with people who are "too cheap-skate" to buy the newest one too. The other piece of advice they will give is to never use anything that is non-MS. That whole attitude is one reason i wanted to get away from the MS world in the first place. They have a vested interest in making people feel guilty for not buying their latest and upgrading everything all the time at considerable expense. If all hardware and software really needs to be upgrade every 3-4 years then how come satellites, marine bouys and other stuff that is tough to reach can keep on working for decades. One nice thing about LibreOffice is that you can upgrade for free, except the cost of the internet connection. The 4.1.0 is fine on most machines. We haven't had many reports of problems with it really but i would still tend to go with the 4.0.5 because that 3rd digit, the .5, is roughly the equivalent of "Service Pack 5". The 4.1.0 has no service packs. The 4.1.1 has 1. So the 4.0.5 is more stable and less likely to have unpleasant unexpected surprises.

There are three possible solutions: - create good bug report (providing example file and image showing how it should look like) and hope it will get fixed in future version - hire someone to fix this issue, provide patched binary for you and send code back to LibreOffice repository (so you will get it automatically on updates) - if you are using old version (like 3.6 or earlier), try upgrading. Especially 4.1 promises hundreds of fixes on foreign filetypes import. But I would not dare to use 4.1 on production environment yet (I would wait until at least 4.1.4). It is possible that 4.1 fixes your issue, but in exchange for some minor annoyances here and there. By the way, each time I read such questions, I wonder what is in mind of people asking them. That there is some kind of checkbox labeled "make DOCX files look like shit" somewhere in settings, that is turned ON by default? -- Best regards Mirosław Zalewski -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
