Hi :) It's not "the only". There are choices. It's not hugely tough to uninstall LibreOffice and install Gnome Office, AOO, KOffice, Calligra, Google-docs or even Kingsoft or the weird one that comes with Macs. I'm sure fanboys/girls of each could successfully argue why 'theirs' is the best.
Whichever you prefer it's good to know it co-operates with all the others. It's only Microsquish that tends to restrict the types of formats you can use and the interoperability with other products. The only real question for me is can i carry on using what i prefer using and still communicate with "them" (whoever "they" are). When they are using MS the answer is a bit chancy but if they use anything else the answer tends to be yes. It's just "the icing on the cake" if they do choose to use the best (by which i mean LibreOffice) Regards from Tom :) ________________________________ From: Jay Lozier <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, 3 October 2013, 18:30 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] LO on La Gendarmerie Nationale computers ? -----Original Message----- From: M Henri Day <[email protected]> To: "LibreOffice, users" <[email protected]> Subject: [libreoffice-users] LO on La Gendarmerie Nationale computers ? Date: Thu, 3 Oct 2013 18:14:26 +0200 Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols has published an interesting article, *French police move from Windows to Ubuntu Linux* ( http://www.zdnet.com/french-police-move-from-windows-to-ubuntu-linux-7000021479/) , over at ZDNet. It deals explicitly with a migration from Windows XP to a «customized version of Ubuntu Linux», but if, as I presume, LO is included as the standard office suite, it is significant for us as well. Anyone familiar with the details ?... Henri Henri The only "standard" office suites on Linux with good MSO file compatibility are LO and AOO. If they are using Ubuntu as the base I would expect them to use LO. -- Jay Lozier [email protected] -- To unsubscribe 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
