IF LibreOffice pulls .docx support then people WONT congratulate us on the strength of our morals.
Nobody suggest not being able to read .docx files, only that LibO should no be able to write to that format.
They will instead see an 'office suite' that doesn't support the formats they have and will go "Well thats USELESS" and delete it from their system and install an office suite which DOES have support,
MS Office still can read and write to .doc format. LibO ability to write to .doc format if necessary is sufficient for interchange with MS office users
we happen to support a format that is used by 80+% of all 'Office Suite' users.
Older versions of MS office do not use the new formats. Many users of MS Office 2007 and newer still save in the older formats. Nowhere near 80+% of MS Office users the new file formats.
Its kinda like going to the gStreamer forums and saying "I'm going to iTunes because you support WMA".
Totally irrelevant comment. What is gStreamer? Oh, wait a minute, it is probably a Linuts program. Larry -- _________________________________ Larry I.
