LibreOffice Writer can edit and save documents in several formats. Supported formats: OpenDocument - odt, doc, rtf, docx, xhtml and others. The program can also create and edit documents in Microsoft Word format, but compatibility with Word documents is not ideal.

It depends on the complexity of the formatting, the fonts and the objects embedded in the document. The program interface is in standard style.
There is no Times New Roman Font present in LibreOffice Writer. I looked upon the question Installing Times New Roman font. But I have the fonts installed on my system already, but is it not showing up on Libreoffice Writer?
At the top of the screen are the toolbars and the main menu. The rest of the window is directly the work area. At the bottom of the window is a status bar. LibreOffice Writer is part of the LibreOffice office suite, fully translated into Russian and is available for Linux, Windows and MacOS X. The program is fork.
'The program has good compatibility with documents in Microsoft Word 'format - this is, to put it mildly, some exaggeration. No matter how many versions of LibreOffice and OpenOffice were being watched, their compatibility was always lame on both legs.
Good compatibility when opening MS Word documents was provided only if the opened document had nothing but text. If there is something else (drawings, tables, not to mention macros) - all sorts of unpleasant things can happen. Formatting, some objects just disappear, etc. The last version was watched by the one that goes in the composition of Ubuntu 12.10. Unless, of course, you have to work with documents made in MS - compatibility is not particularly important. But the trouble is - all sorts of offices (mostly state ones, but not only) are very fond of MS Word and often samples of documents are presented in it. We have to look for something that you can still normally edit and print a Word document.
Here there is a review of an alternative free text editor made by me: At the same time in the screenshots an example of a jamb of LibreOffice Writer when you open a Word document. So it's about compatibility with the format of MS Office, not about functionality. I think so, the author created his works in MS Office, after which they were opened on another machine through the Libre Office. In fact, the problem of compatibility of the above mentioned programs is very acute, because in most cases an office package from Microsoft is used. The created complex documents are obtained, how would I say, soft-dependent, or something. The document created in LibreOffice is perfectly displayed in it, but in some cases it may not open correctly in MS Office. Conversely, a document created in MS Office in Worde itself opens without glitches, but in LibreOffice or Free Office - it's buggy.
--- Although, by the way, this does not mean that open office packages are bad. Just compatibility with the standards of the office from Microsoft is low, but more often (especially in enterprises) the office is used from the 'small-soft' ones. A quick transition to open standards is possible only if Microsoft covers a bench called MS Office. Do you think this is not a fairy tale?: D In principle, for the same *.doc 'melkomyagkie' opened the specification, but, as we see from the article, the sticks in the wheel are still inserted these bastards.
The devil knows why MS is the leader in the field of office packages. Apparently, they took their place on time here and created a functional product.
I hope the compatibility problem will be resolved in the coming years, because you will not make the whole world go to a free software. Every enterprise has a system administrator. Believe me, he knows what the STR is not worse than you. And if it is a question of a state institution, then it is generally easier. I recommend that you familiarize yourself with this - the GOVERNMENT OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION issued December 17, 2010. Compatibility is a critical point, I prepare the document where I want, and it is checked wherever I want the examiner. So it turned out in my case that I prepared the dock in FreeOffice.
