I have reduced the compatibility and connection problems with Windows file sharing by doing a few things in advance.
1) Install Libre Office for Windows on the Windows machine
2) Install Open SSH for Windows on the Windows machine
3) Install ext2fsd on the Windows machine
4) Have administrative access to the Windows machine
5) Use Remmina for SFTP
At his point I only have problems with some MS Excel grids and formats whether copying files OS to OS on the same HDD, or over Wifi with or without a router. I have had good luck with most other formats. Worth noting is that Calibre works fairly well for building help documentation books and so forth. I worked a little with LO on Deb 9 this morning and it still seems to have a lag that is not there in Deb 8 so I'm sure it is a feature problem. It may be that disabling the new LO help wizard is the solution. Interesting to note is that when I load a one million word document in Deb 8 the counter at the bottom of the page rolls slowly forward until the document is loaded. In Deb 9 similar to LL (Ubuntu LTS) the word counter is filled instantaneuosly. This suggests a different method of RAM usage to me, i/e the older version is loading directly to ram while the newer version is not, and that may be the root of the problem.
