Hi :) +1 I find it a total pita too. Do you get blank looks from people when you ask them to send in a different format? Do you find people treat you with suspicion or treat you as being deliberately difficult? Do you get blamed when their formats turn out to appear broken when viewed on any machine other than their own?
When i installed MSO 2010 on the machines here i deliberately set it to default to Doc instead of DocX but then felt guilty and worried i would get the blame if anything happened so i set it back :( Regards from Tom :) --- On Thu, 10/5/12, The Wolfkin <[email protected]> wrote: From: The Wolfkin <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: IPad? To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, 10 May, 2012, 13:33 i think i wasn't quite clear on this.. but my annoyance wasn't with people using Word. I get that. Believe me I fully understand how complicated it is for people to change the file format. My annoyance was with MS for making .docx the default because it means anytime someone sends me something for help it's going to be .docx and that's frustrating for me to work with. Nothing to do about it. -- Wolfkin http://about.me/wolfkin On Thu, May 10, 2012 at 6:29 AM, Tom Davies <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi again :) > You are a geek.
