This is because Microsoft intentionally breaks excel and PP compatibility with Google docs in small but important ways. It's the only thing keeping them afloat at this point. I have gotten into heated debates at work over this, because I prefer Google docs, but my boss will be like "we need to deliver this to customers who will open it in office and the formatting will break" and I'm like "that's what a pdf is for."

yup. anything you ship to anyone should be PDF regardless.
