I was stunned when MS Office Powerpoint appeared on screen with my Impress file.
I did not know that MS Office had OOo import filters. I knew that OOo does a great job of
opening MS Office files, but I thought that MS ignored OOo.
There is an addon from Sun to enable MSO to open/save open document files; they apparently have
that loaded. Otherwise MSO doesn't open them.
I'm not sure what your evidence can be for this last statement, as it's simply untrue. Microsoft
Office 2007 (and presumably 2010) will open Open Document files. Indeed, an installation of
Office 2007 appears to associate .odp with Powerpoint by default.
ODF "support" started with SP2 of Office 2007. Lots of compatibility issues, though -- the plugin
(no longer free with the switch from Sun to Oracle) is much better, and it's still better to stay
with MSO filetypes for interoperability.
HTH,
Sadly not ...
