The creativity of Microsoft in coming up with new bugs knows no
bounds. Now they are deleting users’ documents, instead of saving
them, if the extension contains “#” or is written in all caps!

Yeah, but LO is inferior, because it doesn't guess the word you're
typing like M$ Word. We're stuck in the past, with LO on Linux,
locked out of the glory of M$ Office. All because we're so selfish as
to want an OS that doesn't exploit the access, to our computers.

Software has a bug? Say it ain't so!

People LOOOVE MS Office because it's a powerhouse set of office
applications for a low price.

The $0 price of LibreOffice isn't a cost worth bearing.

Windows is a letter-case-preserving OS, not a document-preserving OS.

Get out, you old Wight! Vanish in the sunlight!
Shrivel like the cold mist, like the winds go wailing,

Where gates stand for ever shut, till the world is mended.

Never noticed it, it's clearly not the same thing M$ Word has, which

If Microsoft Office was free (and it basically is, if you buy a license
online) I wouldn't use it. It's ControlWare crap.

I'm glad LibreOffice exists, so I don't have to rely on Microsoft Office.
LO does what I need just fine.

DFS can use Word, for example, to read and save ODF formats if he wants.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/set-open-document-format-odf-as-the-default-file-template-for-a-library-bf30a61d-1601-486e-8fa2-924bc5ea303e#:~:text=To%20create%20an%20ODF%20template,odt).

Create an ODF template

You can create an ODF file from any program that is compatible with ODF. To
create an ODF template from a Microsoft Office program, create or open a
file and then save the file as an OpenDocument file type. For example, with
a file open in Word, click File > Save As, choose the location where you
want to save to, and then set the Save as type to OpenDocument Text
(*.odt).

bug triggered by

1 MS Word only
2 365 only
3 version 2409 only
4 build 18025.20104 only
5 close Word after editing only
6 prompted to save local files only
7 filenames include the symbol # or a capitalized extension only

That's a LOT of conditions.

Larry Duh said MS Office blanket deletes your files. Larry Duh is a LIAR.
