Hello,
now that microsoft has partially opened the documentation of the .doc
format, is there a chance that better doc compatibility will become a
primary objective ?
mmh, as far as i know it provides not realy any new info. But of course
i am no file format expert.
Thanks

because of not so good .doc compatibility
more interesting is the question what you mean with "not so god .doc
compatibility". Did you mean real conversion errors, missing data, bad
formats or missing VBA features. For the latter one VBA i would say that
we will never reach a really good compatibility.
We are no simple clone althoug it looks so. We provide a good platform
independent office suite with an open standardized document format that
becomes adopted by more and more goverments and public offices all over
the world.
If especially companies are willing to pay a lot of money for licences
and will stay with an closed format or a "pseudo" open format it is hard
to argue against that or to convince them. I think the migration to ODF
is possible if really wanted and already demonstrated.
Don't be frustrated! There is often a lot of politics involved behind
the scenes ;-)
But the good thing is that we always work on better compatibility.
