I know that setting the default to the MS format for saving will elliminate the message (Tools->Options). However, does it not give you a checkbox to say dont show me this message again?
Oops. The implication here was the message that pops up will give you the checkbox, not the Tools>Options part.
Correct. That checkbox only works per session. There should be an alternative through Tools > Options.
OOo2.0 will allow you to switch off the warning both under Tools-Options and in the warning dialog itself. You can see it in the Beta.
Also the texts in both places have been improved. You can read the specifications at

Thanks for the links.
The message doesn't look substantially different. It says:
"This document may contain formatting or content that cannot be saved in the %FORMATNAME file format. Do you want to save the document in this format anyway?/n/n
- Click 'Yes' to keep the same file format./n
- Click 'No' to use the latest OpenDocument file format and be sure all formatting and content is saved correctly."
Currently it says "Saving in external formats may have caused information loss. Do you still want to close?"
I think the new message is a little less threatening, but it save it *cannot* be saved. Is this accurate? Does it only show up when we know something like that.
Not trying to complain more, just making an observation. I am not really saying we should change anything, but I don't know if the original issue has been addressed.
