Document Comparison

One of the key advantages of LibreOffice is the ability to work with the largest number of possible document types.
Opening documents from other office suites - such as Microsoft Office - is an important feature.
This page gives examples of how good LibreOffice really is in this area: we took screen shots of a wide variety of files in LibreOffice and also made screen shots of those files in Microsoft Office, Google Drive, Apache OpenOffice and OpenOffice.org. You find the thumbnails in the table below. Clicking on a thumbnail, will show the larger image.
If you have an additional interesting example to add, please share your information.
Still some interoperability issues exist, and therefore improvements are added continuously.
Mind that often files may display different simply because fonts are used that others may not have on the computer.
