Hi Tom ;) If you re-write the document from scratch using exactly the same formatting
in both then i would guess that LibreOffice generates the best and possibly smallest .odt.
I did. It is not :) Since the MS ODF is so incomplete it manages to be the smallest. And the OOo file is the second smallest (and in addition, valid!) My only concern here is that TDF makes sure that the ODF files created with LibreOffice are valid. It doesn't make sense otherwise. And since Oracle seems to be dropping the ball on OpenOffice it would make sense to have a validation tool on the TDF or LibreOffice site (I wouldn't wait for OASIS...) MSO's odf is inherently broken apparently (as mentioned fairly often by a
variety of people) so it's not really a fair contest. A broken jug in millions of pieces can take up a lot less space than a full jug but it probably can't hold water.
TBH I'm glad that MS Office 2007/2010 even has ODF support. Of course they aren't going to make it that good... After all it is in their best interest that you use their proprietary file formats :) Cheers! -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Odt-size-difference-between-MS-Office-11-and-LO-3-3-2-tp2978634p2986245.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+help@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
