On the development list, we discuss modern MS Office Formats from time 
to time. And we have multiple Ideas on how we could improve the issue.

But currently the Discussions are maybe more a bundle of Ideas then a 
real plan. I believe this topic will get more attention after we have 
finally managed to release 4.2.0.

This my personal personal position and is not an aligned development list.


This does not help you much, but maybe it is nice to have some 
impressions from the dev perspective.

Imho you have a wide choice on Tools, if you need MS Support:

# WPS Office

# Free Office (Free Variant of Softmaker Office)

# G Suite from Google
<https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/best-microsoft-office-alternatives/#no1>

# Neo Office

# iWorks (Mac only)

The Market is rich on Solutions.

And most of them have also support for ODT Format.

Some you have to pay, others are Free.

AFAIK the quality varies, you should inform yourself.

Apache OpenOffice cannot save in OOXML (.docx).
Either use LibreOffice that supports this format or use MS Office.
OOXML has not been designed to be compatible with anything else than MS 
Office. Thus, even LibreOffice may lead to glitches.
