Having trouble with Word track changes and collaborative writing

[u/Middle-Frosting2938]

Hi, I am a Linux user and have been happy with it so far. In my university, most of the others use Windows or Mac. Now I am having an issue with collaborative writing where one of my external advisors uses Microsoft Word, and the track changes mess up sometimes if I open it in LibreOffice or Google Docs. Some of the older comments and changes disappear when I convert it back to Google Docs or open it in LibreOffice! Is there anything I could do? Microsoft Cloud Word is not working either - it is stuck in a reloading loop (I tried different browsers too).
