LeRoy, maybe try leaving it in docx format. Try to find some in person help where you are so they can see the issue. I usually tell people to write the text and format after it is all done. I am not familiar with publisher format requirements. Good luck, Ted P.

Hi NMGLUG folks,

How can a file from MS Word 2007 retain formatting while editing in LibreOffice Writer?

DETAILS
I have a .docx file which is a short book which I wrote in MS Word 2007. Most of the doc is in a 2-column layout. I have a Table of Contents, which uses the "Styles" feature.
I opened the file in LibreOffice Writer and saved as .odt.
Now, when I update the Table of Contents, I lose some formatting, and it's all a mess.

Any ideas?

I'm using LibreOffice 5.2.7.2
I found this article

Thoughts?

(By the way, I want to express my gratitude to everyone who contributes to help novices like me.)
