    Again they have decades of documents that need to be dealt with so of course its going to default to MS format, I figured people would get that. I use Softmaker office for the exact same reason because in the real world I need to deal with the format.

      You are not making sense. What formats can be opened and read has nothing to do with what format the software defaults to (when writing).

        It does because governments have to interact with people, companies, and governments that use MS Office. They can probably get along internally with whatever format they choose but that doesn’t apply to their customers.

      Libreoffice accepts both. Why Eurooffice can’t is a wonder truly worth of research

      I just want an excuse to have an inside look at EU’s inner working on tech
