Re: [tdf-discuss] Status of .docX etc.

I have installed the last version ( .deb on Ubuntu 10.04) and i have ods etc associated with LO but not .docx xls How i can make this association for all the users on my server ? Thanks for your help.

[tdf-discuss] Status of .docX etc.
Would someone please either explain or point me at a detailed explanation of the current status of LO vis à vis the new MS office document formats docx, xlsx etc. Can LO read/import these formats for *editing*? All of them? If not, which? Can LO write/export these formats? All of them? If not, which? What plans are there for read/import? Schedule? What plans are there for write/export? Schedule? I Googled but none of the documents I found were dated so it's impossible to know if they are current. -- Harold Fuchs London, England -- 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

Yes, all of them, although - given the immense complexity and the non standard nature of MS Office formats - interoperability is not perfect, and the layout of the documents might have slight differences. If and when MS will release a standard implementation of OOXML (4 years after the standardization is a long enough time frame to raise serious doubts), LO will be able to improve the interoperability. In any case, a format that needs a 7.200 pages manual is intrinsically far too complex (ODF manual is just over 1.000 pages, i.e. still a huge document, although 5 times smaller). -- Italo Vignoli - italo.vign...@gmail.com mob +39.348.5653829 - VoIP 5316...@messagenet.it skype italovignoli - gtalk italo.vign...@gmail.com -- 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
