Re: Microsoft compatibility
Because it is a different program, from different authors. It has limited compatibility, which is adequate for many purposes. If you wish full compatibility, purchase and stay with MS Office products.

Re: Microsoft compatibility
Recent versions of MS Office can open the "Open Document Format" (ODF) stored by OpenOffice. ODF is the true industry standard since 2006.

Re: Microsoft compatibility
There is not 100% compoatibility between the native fileformats of the different Office Suites.
And never was 100% compatibility between the file types of the different versions of the MS Office software.
There was: Word6 format, Word95 format, Word 97/2000/XP/2003 binary format, Word 203 XML format, Word 2007/2010/2013 XML format. And they have not 100% compatibility.
The LibreOffice can save into the file formats of the STRICT version of the OOXML standard (.docx, .xlsx fileformats ), but the MS Office not fully supports its own standard... The MS supports the TRANSITIONAL version of the OOXML format.
Always use the International Standard ODF fileformats if you want work effectively with the Apache Openoffice an LibreOffice office suites.
