Hi :)
Reporting bugs is great and will hopefully enable swift fixes.
I was hoping for a simple work-around until the fix. Obviously if you have to
upload the documents to a site or to a shared-folder on a file-server then you
have no room to manoeuvre, especially if 'guidelines' = 'must do'. If you
e-mail the documents to 1 or a few people then there might be options such as
the ones i suggested.
If there is some "wriggle room" then 'most' people are probably able to
read/write "odt" by now as they will probably have been forced into buying MS
Office 2007 or 2010 so ".odt" would be a good option. However, there is always
likely to be a small die-hard crowd and some apologetic "hangers-on" that stick
with the older versions. It is only that tiny percentage that might have a
problem (although a link to LibreOffice's download page might solve a lot of
problems for them) but the overwhelming majority of people would have no trouble
accessing other formats.
Any rule, policy, guideline, polite notice or wishful thinking documented that
asks people to use ".doc" is likely to get upgraded or seen as annoyingly
antiquated (or dangerously behind) quite soon. The default choice for most
management structures would be to update those to ".docX" without thinking about
it. Is there any way we could suggest changing to ".odt" as a better,
longer-term alternative to those people/organisations? Ideally someone from the
Steering Committee; preferably someone with a lot of clout and a good track
record of skilful diplomacy such as Italo Vignoli would be excellent at this.
Again, just a suggestion. It is more important that you are able to get on with
work that needs doing quickly with the least possible hassle!
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] LibO3.3 hangs up when saving an *.odt as *.doc
Sorry. Running the rc4, which according to the website is the final, on
Debian Squeeze, up-to-date.
I use it, as many do, for translation and colaborative work with
corporations.
It is unrealistic to ask them all to download LO, nor OOo, nor anything
else.
One must comply with their guidelines or look for work in other places.
If I were independently wealthy, I would not have this problem and could use
what ever suits me.
I will download the LO 3.3 Final, just in case there were actually changes,
and give it another shot.
I do hope you're right, because it seemed much smoother, quicker, nicer than
OOo3.2.1.
But maybe I just want it to be better.
Thanks for the feedback.

This was a bug in a previous beta or rc.
Have to go back to OOo3.2.1 again.
Waiting for the 3.3.1.
And the LO33 is so great except for that. :((

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33050
