Hi all We've discovered that a bug fix to OOo's document export to ODF has made certain writer documents saved with version 3.0 to appear to loose text when you load the document in 2.x, even if you change the ODF format version to "1.0/1.1 (Openoffice 2.x)".
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=96878 The issue has been closed because the problem with Writer 2.x loading the document would need to be fixed in OOo 2.x, which is no longer supported (comment by Éric Savary). So if we won't fix 2.x, what do we do for 3.x users - who we do support - to help them save documents in a way that can be read when sent to 2.x users? 2.x is not going to go away overnight. I'm looking at this problem on behalf of an organisation with 10,000 OOo installs on several OSes. As a result of this bug they are talking about trying to upgrade to 3.0 everywhere, but that will not happen all at once, and even then there will be the need to exchange documents with other 2.x users. So given the above, would the best way forward be to work on a way to export documents using the UI in a way that OOo 2.x can read properly? I wonder if the ODF format version option "1.0/1.1 (Openoffice 2.x)" needs to be changed too, since it is misleading because it implies that choosing this option would create documents that OOo 2.x can actually read.
