On the other hand . . . isn't that doing exactly what MS does? Do two wrongs make a right? I thought the idea behind this particular office suite was to make any file accessible to the extent possible. That's why I use it. Regardless of what LibO does, MS is going to continue to use OOXML, and if the open source suites don't support it, then they are shooting themselves in the foot and essentially doing MS's bidding by ensuring that people who want to exchange files in that format have to buy MS products. - -- Steven Shelton Deputy Undersecretary for Made-up Titles -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk0c6CIACgkQO+AD2HqgRoAFmACeJfN63kpY0scYYf4nh9HI6M3d m18AoMuiy7TqhzLg8pxuMEch0eDp2nKD =Lj+L -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
