I don't know why you're being downvoted but that's a legitimate reason. Unfortunately, Microsoft Office has a total monopoly of the office market so incompatibilities are bound to happen with alternative Office software.

Because people here can't get their heads out of their asses, that's why. As simple as that. Who cares, I have "votes" disabled on my end anyway.

By the way, nobody needs a "legitimate reason" to choose a given software instead of a different one and even less needs to justify their choice to strangers on the internet.
