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

I finally got the LO bugtracker to come up:

Are you suggesting that LO/OOo will not display images in a text box,
but that is a valid MSO docx feature? If so, then please add that
information to the bug. However, please remember that the bugtracker
is a technical device, so just add the technical details of why the
document does not display, without the ad hominem attacks on the
document creators. Stupid or not, that is how people are creating
documents and LO must deal with it or not be compatible.

Thank you for your insight!
