Hi :) Reporting bugs is great and will hopefully enable swift fixes.
I was hoping for a simple work-around until the fix. Obviously if you have to upload the documents to a site or to a shared-folder on a file-server then you have no room to manoeuvre, especially if 'guidelines' = 'must do'. If you e-mail the documents to 1 or a few people then there might be options such as the ones i suggested. If there is some "wriggle room" then 'most' people are probably able to read/write "odt" by now as they will probably have been forced into buying MS Office 2007 or 2010 so ".odt" would be a good option. However, there is always likely to be a small die-hard crowd and some apologetic "hangers-on" that stick with the older versions. It is only that tiny percentage that might have a problem (although a link to LibreOffice's download page might solve a lot of problems for them) but the overwhelming majority of people would have no trouble accessing other formats. Any rule, policy, guideline, polite notice or wishful thinking documented that asks people to use ".doc" is likely to get upgraded or seen as annoyingly antiquated (or dangerously behind) quite soon. The default choice for most management structures would be to update those to ".docX" without thinking about it. Is there any way we could suggest changing to ".odt" as a better, longer-term alternative to those people/organisations? Ideally someone from the Steering Committee; preferably someone with a lot of clout and a good track record of skilful diplomacy such as Italo Vignoli would be excellent at this. Again, just a suggestion. It is more important that you are able to get on with work that needs doing quickly with the least possible hassle! Good luck and regards from Tom :) ________________________________ From: Richard <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Fri, 28 January, 2011 13:49:48 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] LibO3.3 hangs up when saving an *.odt as *.doc Sorry. Running the rc4, which according to the website is the final, on Debian Squeeze, up-to-date. I use it, as many do, for translation and colaborative work with corporations. It is unrealistic to ask them all to download LO, nor OOo, nor anything else. One must comply with their guidelines or look for work in other places. If I were independently wealthy, I would not have this problem and could use what ever suits me. I will download the LO 3.3 Final, just in case there were actually changes, and give it another shot. I do hope you're right, because it seemed much smoother, quicker, nicer than OOo3.2.1. But maybe I just want it to be better. Thanks for the feedback.
