I am being forced to buy ms office again because I have no assurance of backward compatibility with my Word 2003 documents. and I am in need of an OS rebuild. and I can't find my original MS Office package anywhere (May have accidentally donated it and all my system stuff). how many people have to go through this with their systems? or they have a used system and have to rebuild because of a virus or spyware? they, like I, want to keep their documents. but the only REAL answer to the problem of backward compatibility is to get Microsoft Office. it can read Office 2003 .doc files. Even when OpenOffice.org used to offer 2.4.3 on its ftp servers for 2003 compatibility, you had to choose between 3.2.0 for 2007 compatibility, or 2.4.3 for 2003 compatibility. you couldn't have both. that chaps my hide. and it forces me to go out and buy microsoft office, because 1. 2.4.3 is no longer available so I can read and edit my older 2003 documents 2. I still get new documents in 2007 format (.docx) all the time from the microsoft web site and I need to be able to read and print them 3. I can't install both 2.4.3 and 3.2.0 at the same time. 4. I have a complicated Excel 2003 spreadsheet that shares data between multiple sheets, which seem to break OpenOffice.org, at least in the past. it is my budget. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

I still would like Office 2003 binary filters, since that is what the whole world practically is using. Most everybody liked/likes Office 2003. and something that would read and write that binary format would be VERY nice and business-like and business-compatible. There are a LOT of documents in Office 2003 format. Thery are not in Office 97 format. When you get or send a resume, it's going to be in Office 2003 format or it's going to be in PDF format. spreadsheets are likely going to be in 2003 format. powerpoints are likely going to be in 2003 format. a System Requirements Specification Document template and a Engineering Change Order template would be very nice to have too. Those are common documents within the engineering section of corporations. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

In March 2007, the company filed the case in Tyler, where a jury later found for i4i. I started reading through the patent, and it doesn't seem to be XML in general. it seems to be a system where metadata has been worked into the document as a metacode map. I could be wrong, but I think not all XML is like that. read through it yourself. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
