Thanks for this information. The difference between extended and strict allows for confusion to occur. In the option "load/save,general", there is no option "strict standard", only 10/11, 12, 12extended. > Today, LibreOffice integrates some additional features in ODF 1.2, which > will hopefully become part of ODF 1.3 (like font embedding).

It seems safer to select either odf 10/11 or 12"strict". Is there a definitive list of these LO 12extended "features" so that users can decide if it beneficial to use them, or revert to standard odf? -- 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
