Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openoffice.org-common

Hi,

If the user has picked Save As and then selected Microsoft Word
97/2000/XP as a file format in OpenOffice Writer, the user is then
presented with a dialogue offering them the opportunity to "Click 'Yes'
to save in MS Word..." or "Click 'No' to use the latest OD file
format...". However, there are no Yes or No buttons. There is a button
saying "Keep current format" and another saying "Save in ODF Format".
Aside from "ODF Format" being a redundant acronym, the user has had no
explanation what "ODF Format" is, along with not getting the buttons
they are being told to click on.

This is especially confusing for newcomers to the environment, who will
in most cases require everything laid out correctly before them - with
no assumptions to be made, and only but the most basic of options
available.

I have attached a screenshot of the offending dialogue box.

Regards

Kyle
