thanks a lot. :-) Since nobody objected, I will start writing to the

I will not support or use LibreOffice
until it stops helping spread OOXML by enabling writing in this file format. There is
absolutely no need to write in this proprietary format. To do so is contrary to the principle
of using ODF and open source formats.
See the following:
I support Larry's position.

openxml is a really bad thing for the community. It was a shame its
approval by iso, specially if we consider there was no working
implementation of it (not even msoffice support that standard!!) By
implementing this format on LibO we are not helping to improve the

That means nothing. MSOffice will be able to read the previous formats
for a while, I think...

Even MS Office users (prior to 2007) have had trouble with this docx
fraud.
Perhaps LibO and all other Open Source projects - and perhaps anyone
supporting
ODF for that matter - should treat OOXML like Microsoft

Most of these are using the company-supplied computers, with office 2007,

Nobody suggest not being able to read .docx files, only that LibO should no be able to write to
