Based on limited anecdotal evidence (my own), Office 2010 support for ODF formats seems to be about the same as in Office 2007. For Office 2013, I am always startled by how well Excel 2013 (Preview) works with .ods files now that OpenFormula is supported. On the other hand, in my few trials with .odt files I personally experienced some unexpected defects when opening them in Word 2013 (Preview).
This is not a systematic analysis and I don't know where one will find one. The Word cases were unexpected and I wonder if there are some sort of difference in the interpretation of the ODF 1.2 specification that needs to be hammered out. But that's shear speculation on my part. It is unfortunate that venues such as the ODF Interoperability and Conformance TC and the Plugfests held within the EU are not exploited more to identify and eliminate some of these problems. (Unless I've missed something, only Microsoft has made available a large collection of test/sample documents, presumably ones that Office does well. Apache OpenOffice is discussing ways to provide a contributed compilation from other sources that can be used openly but I don't know if any action is pending.) - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan Aquilina [mailto:eagles051...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2013 09:57 To: 'Simon Phipps'; 'Boudi van Vlijmen' Cc: discuss@documentfoundation.org Subject: RE: [tdf-discuss] Help vendor-lock-in awareness My question though Simon is how well is ODF formatting preserved when opening up ODF formats in office 2010 and above on windows. -----Original Message----- From: Simon Phipps [mailto:si...@webmink.com] Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2013 4:11 PM To: Boudi van Vlijmen Cc: discuss@documentfoundation.org Subject: Re: [tdf-discuss] Help vendor-lock-in awareness I generally advise people to send me PDFs rather than editable documents unless there's a real need for me to edit them. That way there's no risk anyone will get locked-in to anything :-) If I *do* need to be able to edit I request Hybrid PDF files, which are PDFs with the original ODF source embedded. They are easy to make with LibreOffice and I've created a tutorial here: http://webmink.com/2012/05/07/making-hybrid-pdfs/ S.
