What, if any, differences are there between OpenOffice and LibreOffice? I am using LibreOffice under Windows 10.

So they ended up creating a set of graphical components for "StarOffice" that looked the same and worked across the several supported operating systems (back then, Windows, Unix, OS/2, etc). They called that "framework as "StarView" (1) Then came Sun Microsystems which bought Stardivision and created Sun StarOffice and OpenOffice.org opening up the source code. It included further cross-platform abilities like separation of the different apps that make the "offic suite" into components (2). Then Oracle bought Sun and then after a revolt by a group of external programmers, Oracle decided to hand over OpenOffice.org to the Apache Software Foundation. All the above is to say: the cross-platform fundamentals remain the same on today's AOO. It has and continues to look and behave the same no matter what OS you use. There is little if any retraining to be done when moving across AOO running on different operating systems. The programs should work and behave the same no matter what the underlying operating system youu are using.

You could have stated the problem you were having. I searched the forums and found your posts. A link to a bug report was given. Also you stated you were using AOO with Windows 10 under Parallels. There is a Mac OS X native version of AOO. No need to run under Parallels. I have been using AOO (and its predecessor OOo) on Macs for 10 years and have never had the problem you described. -- As a courtesy I have sent a copy of this reply to you as well as to the mailing list.

I've used Apache Open Office Writer on Ubuntu and since 2013 on OSX and have had no problems. I just make sure to save as ms .doc for compatibility when sharing with others.

Differences with LO OO
I have both LibreOffice and OpenOffice on my computers. One thing I've noticed is that documents don't always appear the same in them. For example, I have one document which is a table in landscape mode in LO, but appears in portrait mode in OO. Is this a problem with Open Document Formats?
