<a name="about"></a>About Converting Microsoft Office Documents</h1>
<p id="par_id3147834" class="paragraph" dir="auto">LibreOffice can automatically open Microsoft Office 97/2000/XP documents. However, some layout features and formatting attributes in more complex Microsoft Office documents are handled differently in LibreOffice or are unsupported. As a result, converted files require some degree of manual reformatting. The amount of reformatting that can be expected is proportional to the complexity of the structure and formatting of the source document. LibreOffice cannot run Visual Basic Scripts, but can load them for you to analyze.</p>
