Hallo, Es tut mir leid, aber Ich werde hier in English schreiben, weil es ein bisschen zu schwierig werden konnte... :-)
Andre has made some good points here, but I think there are three things should be said about the Open Document Format: -it's not the best format ever; but it is certainly one of the best and it's been designed in a very standardized, very normative way as to allow every other office suite to implement it. -as a consequence, the Open Document specification itself is not very detailed so that layout issue is surprizing: however, some time ago some lead developpers from Gnumeric started to blog furiously against the Open Document file format and were expressing a quite similar problem concerning especially the spreadsheet layout and filtering capacities. Now, Gnumeric is certainly the most complete spreadsheet application ever, but they just fell short from the point and acted as if they were jealous and were not understanding the key part of the Open Document format: it's a standard, and it has to be used by everybody. -last point: the layout issue, although I'm not an expert, may be possible or not, but in anyway, be ready to hear a flow of new issues when the 2.0 will be released. There will be for instance people who will have trouble with fonts, because they will edit their documents both on Windows and Linux. And they will come here and tell you that Open Document is not so good. Well, remember that Open Document is really just our old OpenOffice file format that has been simplified and standardized as to be used by many applications. It is far to be perfect, but it works just fine. Hope this helps, Charles. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
