------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon May 12 09:44:23 +0000 2008 ------- We are a legal firm based in England which has 200 staff members. We have used OpenOffice throughout the firm as our Office package since April 2006. This has been hugely successful. However, as a legal firm the only issue that currently effects us is problems with cross referencing to numbered paragraphs with our clients (most of which use Microsoft Office). We have downloaded OpenOffice 3.0 beta to test this functionality but there are still some problems when converting the document to a .doc. The cross reference works fine when the document is a .odt file but as soon as you save as a .doc the cross reference stops working, even if opening the .doc straight back into OpenOffice. Below are our tests we performed. EXAMPLE 1 Created document with cross reference to numbered paragraph in OpenOffice 3.0 Beta Saved document as .odt Opened document in OpenOffice 3.0 beta RESULT Document numbering worked as expected (document was still in odt format) EXAMPLE 2 Created document with cross reference to numbered paragraph in OpenOffice 3.0 Beta Saved document as .doc (97/2000/xp) Opened document in OpenOffice 3.0 beta RESULT Cross reference link did not work. The link was replaced by an error message - "Error: reference source not found" EXAMPLE 3 Created document with cross reference to numbered paragraph in OpenOffice 3.0 Beta Saved document as .doc (97/2000/xp) Opened document in Microsoft Word (Office XP version) RESULT Cross reference link now goes to the top of the page which contains the link instead of to the actual numbered paragraph (e.g link used to go to numbered paragraph 4.2 but now just goes to the top of the page which contains the numberd paragraph 4.2) EXAMPLE 4 Created document with cross reference to numbered paragraph in Microsoft Word (Office XP version) Saved document as .doc Opened document in OpenOffice 3.0 beta RESULT Link to cross reference is lost. The cross reference link is no longer a link at all, just a gray box. If this feature worked after the document has been converted to .doc this would make our work much easier (as we produce large documents with complex numbering in and send to our clients in .doc format). As a major user and supporter of the software, we are keen for this issue to be solved. If there is any testing or anything else we could do to help solve this issue (eg more tests, testing pre-beta fixes etc) then please let us know as we would be more than willing to help.
