Re: [orca-list] Which wordprocessor works best with orca?

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

Yes, it handles .doc, .docx and many other formats. This is both reading and saving/editing. Sometimes there 
are some issues with images not displaying in the same place, but I'm not sure when this comes in to play. I 
think it is when converting from one format to another, but certainly text, tables and so forth work fine, 
and generally you should have no issues. 
As I recall microsoft managed to stick to the letter of some protocols, but actually partially break them 
causing occasional incompatability, but I've seldom used anything but libreoffice for 3 years now, and things 
have always been readable by office users.
