Hi :) Actually MS Office 2007 and 2010 can both open the older Odf formats (errr Odf = OpenDocument Format which makes that sentence clunky). To switch LibreOffice to the older format try
Tools - Options - "+Load/Save" - General then about mid-way down the sub-page is a drop-down saying "1.2 Extended (recommended)" click on that and roll it 2 places backwards up the list and choose "1.0 / 1.1". Hmmm, the older format was not so great with spreadsheets (allegedly) but was totally fine with word-processing. MS, as a professional company, obviously couldn't risk using a format that was in widespread usage for about a decade but not officially released beyond a 'beta-testing' stage. The 1.2 standard was only fully released last year sometime and a year is not long enough for MS to respond. Just out of curiosity why do i get tons of complaints from TDF officials when i say MicroSquish but the more derogatory term used by e-letter is apparently fine? This is the only list that has a problem with my term. Even MS fanboy lists seem to like the cuter term when i use it there.
