Sasha, sorry for ascribing a wrong sentence to you! Thank you for correcting
me! So, the facts are:
* MS Office 2007 opens all ODF files, but with some problems (tested by Sasha)
* MS Office 2010 opens only ODF 1.1 files and doesn't open ODF 1.2 (extended)
files (at least on the machine I used for the test ;-).

Therefore, the advise I gave in my comment #5 and comment #10 (configure
LibreOffice to use ODF 1.1 if you want to exchange .odt etc. files with MS
Office) is true if you want to exchange files with MS Office 2010, but not
necessary if you want to exchange files with MS Office 2007. Have I got it
right finally? ;-)

Ah, OK, I see you are right here again! So thank you for changing from NOTABUG
to NOTOURBUG!

I always thought the main problem was that MS Office did not display the final
version of the text correctly, and then the fact that it does not change the
recorded changes en detail seemed just minor to me. I was affirmed in this
wrong view by the fact that my MS Office 2010 installation did not open the
original .odt sample file at all. But if the main problem was simply the fact
that MS Office 2007 DID open the .odt sample file, but did NOT show the changes
en detail, there is indeed a bug here. But, as Sasha states, not our bug, but a
bug in MS Office.

So, while I was talking about misunderstandings in my brave comment #10, I was
myself in the state of misunderstanding ;-) Sorry for any inconvenience this
may have caused for anybody! But at least, I know more about the complicated
ODF/LibreOffice/MS Office interaction now, and maybe someone else too ;-)
