I thought I had explained myself, I apologise. I seemed to get the impression that your main point for "non-compliance" with saving across formats was that MS Office was a proprietary format, RATHER than OOo have superior methods of formatting etc. I just wanted to point out that OOo does have superior methods of implementing objects,formats,styles etc that sometimes MS Office cannot implement or emulate in a reasonable way. At least not yet! :) > > I think the way you have worded it is quite politically correct, > > but essentially there are some things that OpenOffice.org does > > that MS Word does not do, or refuses to work with. > > That's not the primary issue with the .doc format. To some extent it is, I believe. Many of my clients have no issue with converting across to .doc format for standard documents. The ones that do cause a problem is when they save an OOo document that has these advanced methods, and MSO cannot deal with it correctly. I know that this relates to us trying to translate what we can across to the proprietary format, but the question originally was whether MSO could not implement certain features in OOo. Thats all I was getting at.
