Perhaps you should compare the editing process using m$. Explain to a customer that you are going to send two versions of the document (the m$ edit version with name file1.docx and the LO edit version file2.docx; don't tell that LO is being used!) and ask for confirmation which version is received in better condition. Hopefully both versions will have changed, in which case you now have the opportunity to demonstrate to the customer that m$docx is a dubious format to use. If format loss never occurred with m$doc, ask the customer to send their documents to you in that format and presumably you can continue to use LO. However, LO is not an m$ clone and long term, you should be advising your customer to create odf documents using LO (additional consulting opportunity for you?) Surely in business, you should be flexible in order to get paid? Would you really refuse a € 1000 invoice because of the need to buy € 50 software? ;) Good luck. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
