I am not sure which filters come installed in the base configuration because I tend install all the filters. The ODF formats are default because they are official (ISO?) standards for general purpose office type documents. Because ODF formats are an international standard producers of office suites - in theory - should support the latest version (1.2) allowing users to easily share documents no matter what program produced the original. MS has not implemented 1.2 support yet in MSO 2010. I believe the ODF formats are a type of compressed xml file. The issue of flat xml is whether other, particularly commercial, suites directly support the format. My suspicion is FLOSS projects probably do but commercial support may be erratic. -- Jay Lozier [email protected] -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
