The OP asked about the (full) compatibility of MS Office and
OOo/Libre Office. MS Office contains components OOo/Libre office
just lacks. Don't know why you are only referring on "real
documents". OOo/Libre Office are *not* fully compatible with MS Office.

BTW: Access is the main reason why my employer still sticks with MS
Office.
