Hi :)
On the other hand MS Office still does not support many features of LibreOffice
yet either. Plus a LOT of the functionality of MS Office depends on you buying
the 'right' bundle and then buying extra apps on top of whatever is included in
the bundle. For example the Student's version of MSO doesn't include Publisher
or Access. Plus their default formats rely on everyone using the same version
and the same OS as the person that created the document and only really works
on desktop machines. Plus all the security issues that MS documents and the
app has suffered from over the years are almost entirely avoided by Libreoffice
and all the other OpenSource office programs. Will MSO ever catch up on
security or cross-platform compatibility?

Microsoft may catch up on cross platform compatibility if they release
Office for Linux as has been rumored, plus the fact that they have their
development fingers in the Linux Kernel and KDE should assist with that,
particularly if Microsoft want to realize their dream of taking over the
world.
As far as security is concerned, that will never happen. They don't have
the reputation of "Microsoft and Security don't go together" for
nothing, plus they continually demonstrate that they don't understand
the basics of security.
regards,
Steve

My question is, is LO 4.0 suppose to be the release that supports 120% of
MSO97.
Not yet, it does not support 100% of MS Word 2.0 (from 1992) yet.
Of course it has some bells and whistles and even a couple of useful features,
but still no cigar.
