Summary
System documentation is generated using the Document landing page in Designer Studio. The system documentation format is unsupported by LibreOffice or Google Document.
Wen the document is opened in Microsoft Office, the document opens stating that it is in the Compatibility Mode.
When opening the document in either LibreOffice or Google Document, only two-thirds of the pages in the document open instead of the entire document.
However, on opening the document in Microsoft Office and saving it in the docx format, it works in LibreOffice or Google Drive.
