------- Additional comments from [email protected] Tue May 18 06:45:12 +0000 2010 ------- OOo needs the ability to import/export/save as... in office 2007 and office 2010 formats. Office 2010 is here or just around the corner. MY SITUATION (like many folk): wonderful. you have 97/xp/2000/2003 binary formats down. the 2003 xml format is broken (it's useful for programmers). I am in a quandry. I am being forced to buy ms office again because I have no assurance of full compatibility with office 2007 documents. and I (like many people) am in need of an OS rebuild. I've lost my Office 2003 software. I get 2007 documents all the time. I figured it won't be long before people will be expecting documents in 2007 format. 2010 is just around the corner, and I could use import/export compatibility with 2007 and 2010 as well for business purposes. OpenOffice.org only has 2007 import. By NOT offering good import/export compatibility with these formats, you are forcing the business community to go get Microsoft Office, a proven business solution that works. many people have to go through rebuilds with their systems. or they have a used system and have to rebuild because of a virus or spyware. they, like I, want to keep their Word 2003 (no problem) or Word 2007 (no problem) documents. but currently the only REAL answer to the problem of compatibility with the outside world is to get Microsoft Office. MS Office can save Office 2007 word files, excel files, powerpoint files. Because OOo doesn't have any of this, I have to spend $459 on microsoft office 2010, because I need to work with documents in 2007 and 2010 format, many of which come from the microsoft web site as white papers and information documents for the public on windows 7 or other microsoft software (they wouldn't put it in a pdf). please, please, make these format filters available. thank you. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
