Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: MS Office -> LibreOffice (compatibility problem)

Dear List
 
I apologize for getting into the converstion so late.
 
The problem is with the way the .docx chart is created.  It is linked to an external data source.  
I do not know how Libreoffice handles external links to data but I have no doubt that it is 
different than MS Office 2007.  When the .docx document is opened, the LibreOffice program can't 
deal with the external link.
 
If you notice the .doc version has the chart as a graphic not an interactive chart.  That is why 
LibreOffice can show the chart.
 
Even MS Office 2003 can not handle the 2007 external link.  That is why it gets converted from an 
interact chart to a graphic when it is saved as a .doc.
 
I hope that is helpful.
 
John McAtee

It looks like Stefano has identified it as a bug with LibreOffice. You 
can read his notes. Someone will submit it and hopefully it will be 
fixed for the final version.
