    I don't expect the user to fix anything. The person who sent the file
    should be asked to resend it in a more commo  format. (Can the latest
    MSO save as ODT files?)

    MSO 2013 is incompatible with itself????


I think he meant that MSO 2013 isn't fully compatible with MSO2010 or
MSO2007 despite all three using "docx" - because each version
is different and Microsoft just hides this to the average user.

I didn't know that. So if I have MSO 2007 and get a DOCX file from
someone with MSO 10 or 13, can I expect to have trouble opening it?
