Okay, sorry this missed alpha 2, folks. Current content in the soon to be committed office.html for Natty:
“Ubuntu comes with LibreOffice; a free office suite packed with everything you need to create high quality documents, spreadsheets and presentations. LibreOffice is based on OpenOffice and tries its best to work with other applications like Microsoft Word.” The latter was “Microsoft Office” but we don't actually support the entire MS Office suite (OneNote?), saying Office one more time in that sentence had me wanting to throw up, and people typically refer to parts of the suite like “Word” and “Excel” anyway. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubiquity Slideshow, which is subscribed to ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/644150 Title: Slideshow for OpenOffice states OOo is "fully compatible" with Microsoft Office which is not true Status in Installer Slideshows for Ubuntu & friends: Triaged Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Binary package hint: ubiquity The slide for OpenOffice in Ubiquity (viewing now on the Netbook ISO Wubi install) says: OpenOffice.org is fully compatible with Microsoft Office" and that is not true. It is "mostly" compatible... or somewhat compatible, but not fully compatible due to Microsoft's heavy use of VBscript and such in Office tools like Access and Excel. Also, MS Word docs do not always render properly in OO and vice versa due to some variance in how the configurations for each document type is handled. This is a very common complaint about using OpenOffice and saying that it is "fully compatible" is not accurate. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubiquity-slideshow Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubiquity-slideshow More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
