[Officeshots] interoperability testing

[Milos Sramek]

Thank you Rob, for pointing me to this tool.

It looks like that its purpose is to analyze problems with opening a 
file in the binary format. I am more concerned with rendering. I is a 
common situation that diffrent tools render in a different way I would 
like to know how severe this is.
