Hi :) I think MSO 2007 and 2010 and possibly the plug-in or add-on or whatever too are only able to handle the old 1.0/1,1 Open Document Formats. LibreOffice defaults to using the more advanced 1.2 (Extended). Oddly it seems that text-boxes and pictures don't get messed up when you re-save using the older format. I'm not sure how much better the result looks in MSO tho. My boss got so annoyed at MSO by that point that we are going to install LibreOffice on all the machines at work :=)) Regards from Tom :)

I was reading ODF files in MSO even before that using the plug-in created by Sun (and then pulled by Oracle to become a for-pay product). I only move simple ODF documents to Word because of issues with respect to things such as: Frames, Links, and Styles. For the most part, complex documents read into MSO is a one way trip. MSO and OOo do not have good compatibility for complex things. The simplest of examples is that OOo and LO rely on styles in a serious way. MSO has improved style support, but can't even begin to come close to the support provided by OOo. So, when I create a complex document, if the deliverable is a PDF, I am likely to use OOo (historically, it has had much better PDF export capabilities). If the deliverable is a Word document, then I start with Word and stay in Word. I have worked for only one client that would accept an ODF document as a deliverable. Ironically, it was a requirement. -- Andrew Pitonyak My Macro Document: http://www.pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.odt Info: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
