Not asking it to be an MS Office clone. I have used MS Office a LOT.
Having tried OO, I can honestly say that OO is more user intuitive and
an absolute joy to work in. The issue isn't having an MS Office
clone--heaven forbid, unless you happen to like self-torture--but
compatibility...which OO seems to have with MS documents of all
kinds...so far. However, as per my previous response, backwards
compatibility is a must for me to archaic--very archaic--formats.
Forward compatibility is and will be, likewise, critical.

LibreOffice supports saving in these formats. I have removed AOO and
installed LibreOffice on a couple of computers where the user needed to
write in the newer MSO formats. In fact, I did that this evening to one
computer and will be doing it to another tomorrow.
when I need to edit an "advanced" MSO document, I fire up a Virtual
machine running Windows that contains a copy of MSO and just use MSO.
