Hello Russ, Le lundi 22 avril 2013 à 17:40 -0700, Upscope a écrit : Quote I remember seeing a discussion about the White Paper, and I hope that translations to other languages will be done. That will help a lot. Here in Canada, the Quebec government is about to spend 1.4 billion $ to upgrade 500,000 desktops from MSO 2003 to MSO 2013. This is only the provincial public service and does not include municipal/city-level public service with approx another 300,000. The original intent of my message (sorry if I used the wrong mailing list) was to make a blog post to say that we as a community are aware of the end-of-life for MSO 2003 that is less than a year away, and here are some reasons why you should make the switch. Yes, the formats are not perfect, and yes the license is free. But most important, LibreOffice has 99% (?) of the same functionalities of MSO and answers the need of 99% (?) of end-users, either individuals or business. I have to disagree with the above statement. There are still significant problems with .docx documents in writer. All text type documents work, but recieve something with grapic in it and the conversion does not work correctly. i reports this way back on 3.x and 4.0. Still not fixed in 4.0.2. It occurs both in the openSUSE branded version and the version direct from LibreOffice. If everybody is going to be abadoning .doc this needs to be fixed. I final may have found when it occurs today and will report it. (has to do with text wraping around the graphic). Don't get me wrong I use LibreOfiice exclusively and like it. And to let you know alot of the .docx documents I get are from B.C. I'm in Washinton, close neighor to them. I think it's important to clarify Italo's comment. We don't just think that since we know it will never be perfect, we don't work on the OOXML filters. Actually there's been some massive work done on them, and it is an ever ongoing work. But it is also important to realize that OOXML is a highly complex format that we have to reimplement (the spec helps, but there's much more to it) and therefore it takes a long time to get it right. Note that one outcome of this is that we get better with time (today, the MS Office formats from MS Office 97, 2000 or 2003 really work well) and another factor to take into account is how the users of both LibreOffice and MS Office actually use the software. Someone typing only bold letters for the title or paragraph headers is not going to get the best result regardless of the suite he/she uses. best, Charles. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

upscope wrote Russ .docx was 2007 onwards. What can i help with on mac? Yes I was aware of that. If you are using LO writer, see if the document attached to the bug report opens displays the full graphic and text. There are graphics on almost all pages and some open completely but not in the right location, some only partially open, etc. Actually Jonathan's point is quite relevant. If you save the example document you provided in .doc format in your MS Office (instead of saving in docx) you will notice that actually it is quite well preserved and can be transferred back and forth between LibreOffice and MS Word. Since the original discussion is about LibreOffice replacing Office 2003, then I believe it might be a realistic replacement with some quirks. I should also add that a perfectly formatted document (using styles and page/margin limits instead of tabs and spaces) is much more resistant to conversions ;) This is not an excuse to say that LibreOffice does not need to improve A LOT, especially with regards to Office XML formats. Currently most documents can not go back and forth (because LO barely supports Office XML and Office barely supports ODF...) So there is room for improvement in the new file format versions but keeping to the old Office 2003 formats is currently the best option.

I agree with his point but as I stated I do not have any MicroSoft Office Software. I strictly use Linux and LibreOffice. The sample document is one sent to be from Canada by a user and I've tried to convince them to save it as .doc but I'm the only one so far not using XP, Vista or Win 7/8. I even tried to have them send it as a .pdf but that was above some of their knowledge level. I would say about 70% of the douments I recieve today are .docx. I have no problems with the text only ones. When I send them a document I usually save it as .pdf or .doc and it is all correct. its the incoming ones with graphics that I cannot control. I doubled the memory available for LibreOffice as suggested on mailing list but it did not help. I appreciate you help and comments.
