Hello Roger,
It is not supposed to work like this. LibreOffice is not a drop in
replacement for any other software. You can import complex and
proprietary foreign file formats in order to create your own ODF
documents to work with. The import accuracy is fairly well with .doc and
.xls, it is not so good with .ppt.
Your ODF documents should be fully compatible across several
applications. Of course MS will never really support ODF. They do not
support any file format they do not control.
If and only if you want to share an office file with a co-editor who can
not install ODF capable software, then you may send him doc/xls/ppt
copies of your ODF documents together with a PDF version so he/she can
compare the intended layout in a PDF viewer with the actual layout in
his software.
First of all you should care about the fonts used in your documents.
This office suite can not transfer any fonts embedded in the sent
documents. If your font is not installed on the other machine, the
overall look and pagination will differ for sure.
Since you are writing about 2 of your own computers, I'd suggest to use
the same software on both machines.
Hope this helps,
Andreas
