It could mean that there will be more confusion in the support discussions about Microsoft Office 2007.

Microsoft Office 2007 does not support ODF, and according to these full URLs [1], actually destroys ODF documents if opened in Microsoft Office 2007 without the help of Sun's ODF plugin: http://www.odfalliance.org/blog/index.php/site/microsofts_odf_support_falls_short/ http://www.odfalliance.org/resources/fact-sheet-Microsoft-ODF-support.pdf Some example of some details where Microsoft Office fails: http://www.robweir.com/blog/2009/05/follow-up-on-excel-2007-sp2s-odf.html During the transition period, when any remaining Microsoft Office installations are abandoned, a work-around to provide ODF support is provided by the Sun ODF Plugin. However, in those cases, it is more appropriate to install OOo along side the old suite. The Sun ODF plugin can be found here still: http://www.sun.com/software/star/odf_plugin/ /Lars [1] Link shorteners, also known as the herpes of the web, are bad for every one of us as end-users: http://joshua.schachter.org/2009/04/on-url-shorteners.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
