I have tired Oxygen. . . a few months ago and it did not
read/write them well. Also when you try to read the resulting
"word" document into the Word 2007 trial, it caused an error.
I hope it is fixed now. It would be great if you could have both
installed at the same time.
I switched back from Oxygen. . . to OpenOffice.org
So did I......last night. 'Doesn't play well with openSUSE 10.3 64-bit.
They do have some nice ideas, however. By the way, there IS an import
filter designed by Novell that IS usable on OO from an article I read.
It's not perfect yet, but getting there. It should be "good to go" by
this fall when OO 3.0 is to be released. That filter is supposed to ship
WITH OO 3.0.
If you have kept up with the MS ISO stuff, you may have read
something about MS may not support their own creation of
their "ISO standard" format. The same with the .docx format
with other programs. 6000+ pages of format definitions are
really hard to comply to. 600+ for the ODF standard is much better.
Yes. Further, there's several investigations going on presently, so
MickySoft MIGHT NOT get their fast track ISO approval after all.
It will be great to get .docx and the "x" formats to be read/written
by Oxygen and OOo. OOo should have that done for version
3.0, but I do not know how well OxygenOffice is doing it currently.
If I read between the lines correctly, they will use the filter Novell
is working on.
Next year, MS may have some other format(s) as their defaults.
It was announced that Microsoft 7 OS will be out several years
early - NEXT YEAR. So Vista (MS 6) is being replaced next year.
Here we go again. . . . .... .......... .................
No..........the time table is BETWEEN 1 and 2 years, so that means in
MickySoftSpeak, 1.5 yrs. minimum. ;) It also APPEARS that they will use
the 2008 server kernel to build on.
