Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: .docx can't be read

Hi :)

There does seem to have been a recent change somewhere that is creating problems 
with docX.  The normal problem of re-arranged pictures and things is inevitable 
even just using different versions of MSO but there have been a couple people in 
last couple of days that have sent me docX files that probably would have worked 
previously, or at least opened.  Perhaps its a change with the Xml 
implementation in Windows or perhaps some recent fashion or who knows.  It does 
seem to be specifically picture-related but seems to stop files from being 
opened.  Hey, it's Windows, it could be anything.
Regards from
Tom :)

Dotan, 

"Well, allow me to retort" (as a famous movie character said) :)

LibreOffice IS fully compatible in the sense that it will open any MS Office
file. HOWEVER files created in MS Office may not look exactly the same (or
some features, e.g. Equations not be loaded at all) in LO or OOo

IMO the biggest problem is that files created in LO (and OOo) when saved in
MS Office formats often do not look the same (although users are warned
about this). And that is the biggest obstacle to that strong affirmation in
the Ubuntu site (and probably the largest obstacle for a wider adoption).

Just my 2 cents ;)
