This lack of support for Calc table functions has been a major problem for AOO for years. The problem in practice is not so much that essential functions are missing, but that MS Office and LO have integrated more and more special table functions, which users then also use, although they could do the same calculations without these functions, only with the functions it is easier for average users.

Sounds good! After we change that in source, Mechtilde can create a new template and we can import it in Pootle.

This is a very real question, because this corresponds to the program behavior with e.g. doc or docx. > What is your proposal? at short term: If the predominant opinion is that the, years of practice with OOXML or the MS binary formats is less "painful", then you should simply turn off the program update warning. medium term: we would first have to clarify how big the problems are in practice and therefore the predictable effort for their elimination. This clarification could be done by people involved with OASIS (i _believe_ there are also people from us there) or by creating test files and evaluating them. long-term: it does not help us (AOO) directly, but in the interest of the users, all parties involved should get together to implement ODF in free software and agree to implement ISO standards permanently, at least as a default. Already in the dispute with Microsoft, the users were the ones who suffered, and now the same situation exists within the FOSS community - this is not good. I have now only once test converted about 20 existing odt files (typical business letters) in LO 7.0.1 to the 1.3 (extended) ODF and could not find any concrete problems when opening them in AOO 4.1.7. This does not mean that there are none, but it is assumed that they will not be massive. In general, these format problems are as difficult to solve as the problems regarding OOXML, because we lack manpower.

It is an OASIS standard since December 2019(?) but not an ISO standard. Implementing it in AOO takes time, so we should concentrate on making the "error" message more logical. That said, this will only be possible for 4.2.0 due to the needed translation of new strings.

Hello Matthias, I don't know if this ODF 1.3 will be available soon.
