There are a number of incompatibilities between Writer and Word that show up after one is converted to the other. Most conversions to/from Writer and Word are seemingly flawless, whereas some conversions are horribly botched.

The “current” OOoAuthors Migration Guide was originally written for version 1 of OOo Writer and MS Word 2003 and, therefore, is now terribly out-of-date. Because no writer or other editor at OOo is apparently addressing this issue of incompatibilities, I will take upon myself the gathering of items of incompatibilities between Writer and Word.

As any inconsistencies between Writer and Word are noticed, they will be listed in this blog under the category–Migration Guide. These items will then be considered later when thoroughly rewriting the OOoAuthors Migration Guide.
