Since there is some interest in this particular topic, here are the 9 questions I categorized as MS Interoperability with the number of positive votes appended to each in parentheses. 1. I tryed to save my word processor file as a MS Word file only extensions listed in the drop down were for text or Open Office, no Word option. Help function said I should have had that option in the drop down under save as. version 3.4.1. Could you add a converter for format MS .docx as the actual converter for .doc does not work proper. It mix up text and drawings and make the whole page a mess. (1)
2. hello, How can i open openoffice file with microsoft office? Gr Sam Esman (5) 3. What kind of OOXML support is intended in AOO? Transitional (MS Word) version or ISO (does someone really implement it?). (3) 4. If save filter is implemented, don't you fear a weakening of the ODF then? (6) 5. allow open office to use ms office defaults (5) 6. can i install openoffice when i have microsoft office on my computer (4) 7. OpenOffice, should be able to open properly all 'Word office' files. (9) 8. Is open office compatible with Office 2010? (8) 9. Open Office doesn't handle tables in Word well - for example re-sizing of columns, keeping table rows together, inserting page breaks within tables. Could OO development include a goal of fully matching MS Office functionality for tables?
