i don't use openoffice. with the exception of some screwball canadians who appear to be using wordperfect every individual to whom i send a business document uses microsoft word. i am a wordsmith, i have little use for graphics. however my document headings are formatted to give a decent title page. i found that when i created a simple title page in openoffice and saved it in .doc format and then opened it with my microsoft word even the simple text box and drawn black lines came back scrambled. when i opened a word document in openoffice it looked perfect, but then when i simply saved it and re-opened it in word it was scrambled again. i would love to use libreoffice to replace my office 2007. however i need near to absolute assurance that the document i create is going to be the document my clients/associates/customers receive and to the best of my knowledge every one of them will open it with some version of word. this is far more important to me than any feature no matter what it might be. i cannot claim to be sending a client a renoir and have them open a picasso. bill topp otisville ny -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+help@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
