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

Hmm, this mis-quotes my statement.  I said that ".doc" files created by either 
OOo or LO are almost always easily read by the other program.  However when  MS 
Office is involved that there appear to be problems but those problems are 
fairly easy to fix or work-around.

Regards from
Tom

You'd be wrong.
$ locate versionrc
/opt/libreoffice/basis3.3/program/versionrc
/opt/libreoffice/program/versionrc
/opt/libreoffice/ure/bin/versionrc
/opt/ooo-dev/basis3.2/program/versionrc
/opt/ooo-dev/basis3.3/program/versionrc
/opt/ooo-dev/basis3.4/program/versionrc
/opt/ooo-dev/ure/bin/versionrc
/opt/ooo-dev3/program/versionrc
/opt/openoffice.org/basis3.2/program/versionrc
/opt/openoffice.org/basis3.3/program/versionrc
/opt/openoffice.org/ure/bin/versionrc
/opt/openoffice.org3/program/versionrc
/usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.2/program/versionrc
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/versionrc
/usr/lib/ure/bin/versionrc

That's LO, OOo-Dev, OOo-standard, OOo-Ubuntu; all run at the same time,
all run in parallel, and none have issues with each other.

If you plan to continue to provide such advise, please clarify: 1) the
OS that the OP might have issues with (there are indeed some issue with
Windows), and 2) cite the issues that you refer to rather than "at least
there are a lot of problems reported her about that". There indeed may
be problems, but if we are to maintain a valid 'user' list, IMO
responders should at least make an attempt to cite the issues and/or
point to where the poster can likely find a reference or answer.

So how about citing a reference for "But there are some problems,
especially with pictures in .doc-files" so that others on the list can
understand the issue as well?
