Thanks for explaining. Are these types of developer wisdom regarding file type
difference (limitations) documented at a central place (internal/external) or
only scattered in bug tracker.. I would be helpful explaining the differences. 

[And I would love 'doc/docx' (or any other foreign format) being advertised as
a 'export' function and not a direct save option, because of the silent
conversions done when saving doc/docx. However a whole different story, not
relevant here]
