Working in an organization that is mostly Windows, some Linux and a few Macs, this is an issue. Guess what, OOo is the only application that is consistent (depending on version) across all platforms. I have tried to work with documents on Office for Mac that would not work if they came from Windows 98 but okay from Windows 2000 machine. I have seen people scream when the document that they spent hours working on at home only is trashed when loading it on their work computer due ot different fonts or some other stupid setting. It is surprising how many things change between versions of Word or between the OS's. Some bugs in OOo only affect Linux users while others only affect Windows users. > This is another example of an organisation unwittingly acting as a > franchisee of M$. > It also, however, raises the need for OpenOffice to issue a caveat > against its use for official documents created by other software. > > Na, this is a notice that even though MS says their documents are usable to the public, they are not. Official documents should be accessible to all people, not just a few than can afford the software. Heck, as I said before, there is no guarentee that your document will open in a different version of Microsoft Word. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
