[SOLVED] If I save a document as .docx, but then open it in a different app (Libre/WPS) and I send it to someone does it look the same?

Basically the title. I'm aware that programs like Libre Office and WPS Office save documents differently than Word. So my question is if they see the changed document gone through WPS or Libre or do they see the normal .docx file as if it hasn't gone through any other programs. By this I mean fonts, pictures behaving differently, etc.

The only answer to that is - Usually it works OK.

A basic Word doc should be OK. A very complex word doc with sections/subsections...may not transfer well.

LibreOffice is very very close. But not a strict 100%.

Thank you, one more thing I forgot to ask- Do documents made in Word Online look the same in the desktop version of Word?
