Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Very basic questions

HI :)

Ok, so my 5th option wasn't great.  I didn't realise how restrictive those 
wonderful MicroSoft products are.  The odt is fairly fine in Windows on MSO 2007 
& 2010.  Perhaps stick with the remaining 4 options especially the one about 
passing people the link to download LibreOffice.  At least you don't have to 
uninstall MS Office to install LibreOffice!

Regards from
Tom :)

Neither MS Office for Macs 2008 or 20011 support ODF.
