Hi All,
I run a company here in the UK providing training/consulting and support
services to small-medium businesses in Open Source software.
A discussion with an IT manager the other day prompted me to start a
search for information but I have been unsuccessful :-(
I am trying to find a list of the things which *don't* work if you
create them in MS Office products and try to import into ODF and vice-versa.
Does such a thing exist? If yes, where can it be found? If not, I would
be happy to try and collate something, but I will obviously need input
from the community at large.
An example of one issue this IT chap told me about was if you draw a box
in Word/Excel and you are left handed (so you draw it by dragging the
handles from top-right to bottom left) when it is imported into OOo the
contents of the box are reversed, or transposed. He said the text was
displayed "back-to-front"...
Having a list of the problems/issues well documented would help a great
help for many organisations to migrate less "painfully" and to be aware
of certain boundaries that they can use to ensure document portability.
If this is off-topic for this list, my apologies. Any
comments/suggestions greatfully received.
Thanks
Alan Lord
