I forced it on our office over maybe 15 years ago, I’ve finally just about stopped receiving complaints. The vast majority of the push back was document compatibility, but not in the way you think.
The problem was the original document was created by a fucktard or opened by one, so many people don’t know how to correctly format a document using styles, know how to use page breaks, line breaks, etc etc. that’s us recieving documents and creating documents.
To be fair I didn’t initially fully understand this as well, but it literally took me 4 hours to read the manual.
Other problems include Microsoft’s fuckery using a supposedly open standard and allow proprietary code/content within the same open standard.

The number of people who move text around by adding spaces is too damn high!
Who needs align right when you can just hold the space-bar till it’s there, or if you are a pro tab then space for perfect alignment
And don’t get me started with special macros and basic code that only works in ms office.
Databases basically built inside excel 😐
