Is there an extension or patch to allow the use of MS Of*i*e 2007 files?
Please do *not* start a new question by replying to an old one as this causes
several problems:
1) most email software will correctly think that your email is a response to
the email you are "replying" to, and will indicate this by displaying your
email as a child of the original email
2) because of this, people not interested in the original email may ignore
your question
3) people may think that the original email has a reply(yours) so that they do
not have to give it a reply
So in conclusion, more people will read your email if it looks like the start
I'm not usre of a new thread rather than the reply to an old one.
I'm not sure what it is that you're talking about. I asked the question
in an original email, not as a reply to anything. As it appears in my
mailbox anyway, there is no Re: to anything in the subject line. My
question was based a statement on "The Lab with Leo Laporte" (formerly
"Call for Help") which said there was an extension to Open Office which
permitted the use of MSO 2007 files.
Leo Laporte: THE NEAT THING ABOUT THIS, FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF A
USER WHO WANTS FUNCTIONALITY,
IS BECAUSE IT'S OPEN SOURCE, THERE'S A COMMUNITY OF THOUSANDS OF
DEVELOPERS WORKING ON IT, AND
SO VERY FREQUENTLY, IF THERE IS A MISSING FEATURE, IT'LL GET
ADDED. FOR INSTANCE, OPEN OFFICE JUST RECENTLY ADDED SUPPORT FOR THEIR
NEW OFFICE 2007 FILE FORMATS.
