Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: .docx can't be read
Hi :) There does seem to have been a recent change somewhere that is creating problems with docX. The normal problem of re-arranged pictures and things is inevitable even just using different versions of MSO but there have been a couple people in last couple of days that have sent me docX files that probably would have worked previously, or at least opened. Perhaps its a change with the Xml implementation in Windows or perhaps some recent fashion or who knows. It does seem to be specifically picture-related but seems to stop files from being opened. Hey, it's Windows, it could be anything.

HOWEVER files created in MS Office may not look exactly the same (or some features, e.g. Equations not be loaded at all) in LO or OOo IMO the biggest problem is that files created in LO (and OOo) when saved in MS Office formats often do not look the same (although users are warned about this). And that is the biggest obstacle to that strong affirmation in the Ubuntu site (and probably the largest obstacle for a wider adoption).

I don't seem to have many problems opening docx files I have created in LO 3.3.2 - the problem with THIS particular file, having opened it in MS Word 2007, would seem to be that the creators have inserted a Text Box and the ENTIRE document is inside this text box. Why on EARTH anyone would do that in a Word document I have NO IDEA. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
