No. That remains not true. MSO SP2 cannot save OpenDocument Format. Yes, you will get a file. It will be close-ish to the ODF format. No, it will not be your whole file with all the data, structures, formulas and formatting. The program is set to erase parts. The spreadsheets especially suffer, but support in MSO for ODF can at best, if one is really generous, be called broken: http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20090503215045379 http://www.robweir.com/blog/2009/05/follow-up-on-excel-2007-sp2s-odf.html http://www.robweir.com/blog/2009/05/update-on-odf-spreadsheet-interoperability.html For MSO only the regular plugin for ODF works. http://www.sun.com/software/star/odf_plugin/get.jsp Again, your best bet in the long run is to install another package parallel to enable MSO to be phased out. OOo can fill that role, but there are others. Use them. /Lars --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
