[nmglug] Compatibility from MS Word 2007 to LibreOffice Writer

[Ted Pomeroy]

LeRoy, maybe try leaving it in docx format. Try to find some in person help
where you are so they can see the issue. I usually tell people to write the
text and format after it is all done. I am not familiar with publisher
format requirements. Good luck, Ted P.
