Hi :) What!! An "agreed" 'Open' Standard that MS never quite implemented in the way they had promised but still managed to push as the unifying standard that all other companies had to follow. The format they promised would have long term support so that historical archives and such could reliably store documents for the long-term future in much the way that books have lasted. The one that no-one other than MS (hmm, not even MS) managed to implement because MS never quite got around to publishing how they had messed up the format in any particular release. The format that resulted in court actions which MS apparently lost. The one that MS is quietly dropping support for and not developing any further so that all existing problems remain.
Luckily we have all learned our lesson and anyway MS wouldn't try to fool us the same way again, right? lol ;) Regards from Tom :) --- On Thu, 26/4/12, Andreas Säger <[email protected]> wrote: From: Andreas Säger <[email protected]> Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: rtf import broken in 3.5.1?
