Hi Mark Is LibreOffice compatible with the OpenDocument standard, ie will all previous odt and ods files still work? I'm assuming it does with it being the replacement of OOo but having not used it yet or read up on it, I just thought I'd throw the question in there. Also on a related note are there new native formats or is it sticking with just the OpenDocument standard?
