I may have missed something being a non-windows user but I missed the
link to the download of the plugin. It would be nice to have to send to
people.
I don't believe the plugin is available for public use at this point.
I haven't located it on the internet. I seem to recall that the plugin
would be made available for evaluation to the IT people for the
State of Massachusetts first.
What I am very curious to know is whether OO.o gets better
document rendering when reading an ODF file created by
the DaVinci plugin or by going through its own import of the original
DOC file. It sounds as though we'll get a lot better results with
the plugin once ODF 1.2 is implemented and OO.o can then
add more import rules for what are currently "dark blobs"
(MS-specific undefined XML sections) in the ODF files the
plugin produces.
