Re: [libreoffice-users] Libre shouldn't warn during saving in doc
Hi FARHAN ISHRAK Fahim, Today, I was saving a file to doc while working on libreoffice writer. It showed a warning that if I save in doc format, it may break formatting. Although there is an option to disable it, it shouldn't be popped up even. It will frighten more people to use it rather than attracting people to use it. What would you write when parts of format has been lost because you have saved in *.doc-format? You would say it's a bug of LO, but it might be a feature of *.odt to save, which can't be saved in doc-format. We just had such a discussion in other way: old *.xls-files couldn't save as much rows as current *.ods-files. If you save a big *.ods-file as *.xls, all rows which cannot been svade will be cut off. The warning "Don't do this. You will lose content." seem to be not strong enough. People, who use LibreOffice, should use the open document format. Could be imported to other Office suites if needed.

We warn users expressly because the other formats are export formats, not the default native ODF document model that LibreOffice supports. The .doc format is a filter 'export' from our native ODF document model. Likewise OOXML of .docx format. For greatest fidelity to a document opened into LibreOffice you should be saving to an ODF format .odt. If you need to exchange the document with someone who needs old binary MS Word formats, or more recent OOXML formats, once you have saved to .odt--you can conveniently also Save-as export to those non-native formats--but you'll have the original fully formatted ODF document on hand. -- V Stuart Foote -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
