In my experience, most paragraph styles tend to translate well to MS-Word
formats. However, I've had problems with the alignment of automatic
numbering and/or bullets. LO and MSW seem to align them differently.
One bigger difference, however, is the way the two formats handle page
formatting. LO uses page styles to change formatting from one page to
another, whereas Word does not. It uses section breaks to make such page
formatting changes, and I've found discrepancies in translating page
formatting between the two.

Subject: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice paragraph styles exported to other
software/formats?
Hello,
Apologies if this is a basic question. I've been given some documents to
format according to certain style guidelines. The files are mostly .docx
and .doc and must be sent off in this format. I work only with
LibreOffice. My questions is, if I format the articles using paragraph
and page styles rather than just directly changing the format in the
body of the document, will the formatting be maintained when the
documents are opened in MS Office? I am not concerned with small
discrepancies that can be tweaked later on, rather whether this method
of formatting generally transfers well. Again, sorry if it's a silly
question.
Many thanks.
Ryan
