Hi :) We often argue about formats, especially MS ones, so i thought people might be interested in a quote from microsoft.com ... http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/sharepoint-server-help/microsoft-office-servers-2010-faq-readme-HA101793217.aspx
" Document Layout Microsoft Office 2010 documents may lay out differently on Windows Vista and Windows 2008 Server compared to Windows XP and Windows 7. Microsoft Office 2010 includes the latest version of several fonts also available in Windows 7. However, Office 2010 cannot install these fonts on Windows Vista or Windows 2008 Server because they are system protected on these operating systems. As a result, Office 2010 documents may lay out differently on e.g., Windows 7 and Windows Vista. This issue is fixed in an update for Windows Vista and for Windows Server 2008. This update removes the system file protection of some font files. Important Users who have already installed Office 2010 on Windows Vista and Windows 2008 Server, and willing to get the latest version of the fonts, must first uninstall Office 2010, and then install the Windows update prior to re-installing Office 2010. To install this update, follow the instructions in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/980248."; I always thought it was just between MS Office 2007 and MS Office 2010 but apparently the same program installed on different Windows OSes (ie Xp vs 7) may have been a main cause of problems that people have had. We often ask what OS enquirers are using but never ask what version of an OS their clients/colleagues/co-workers are sending from or receiving documents on!! Apparently with Windows at both ends there is likely to be a problem! (unless both ends use Xp) Regards fromTom :) -- 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
