Re: [libreoffice-users] Libre Office saving spreadsheets as images when saving as Word docx!?

Yes, most people can read a pdf. That's not the issue here.

The issue is a customer wants to copy and paste the contents of the invoice
for his own bookkeeping processes. Copy and pasting from a pdf is not the
same as copy and paste from a spreadsheet. I have a specific need to save a
copy as a Microsoft Office readable format. I have been saving as a copy
for years as a Microsoft Word document for this one client, and it has
worked until recently. Most likely I did an upgrade on Libre Office and
broke something. I have found a solution, that saving only the spreadsheet
portion and sending that as an Excel document will work for him. Until I
figure out what I broke.
