Lotus Symphony is different from LibreOffice (all versions) and Apache OpenOffice 3.4. It forked much farther back than OO.o 3.x, as well as I can tell. Although it has unique features, it does not appear to have kept up with OpenOffice.org and its descendants in other respects.
I just started a fresh Text document in Lotus Symphony 3.0.1 and tried a Save As ... . The only Microsoft Office formats I am offered are Microsoft Word 97-2003 (*.doc), Microsoft Word 97-2003 Template (*.dot), and Microsoft Rich Text Format (*.rtf). The only other formats are .txt, .sxw, .ott, and .odt. (There is an Export as PDF ... ). The only file formats I can make the default for Save are "Open Document Format" (no version), and "Microsoft Office 97-2003". There are some other options for automatically converting from one to another on load and save. Lotus Symphony is going to end-of-life, with replacement by a Lotus packaging/customization of Apache OpenOffice in the future. The contribution of the non-Java Symphony-unique code to Apache OpenOffice is now under review. My personal prediction (FWiW) is that not much of that will be seen until Apache OpenOffice 4.0. There will be a 3.4.1 and perhaps progression to an AOO 3.5 before that. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Ken Springer [mailto:snowsh...@q.com] Sent: Monday, June 04, 2012 19:13 To: users@global.libreoffice.org Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: Is 3.5.4 ready for business users?
