The whole open source/proprietary war is pointless because each side uses lies and hyperbole to win various arguments. The open source side is not innocent of using FUD, sorry. Windows 7 is nice, better than most Linux distros for desktop use in my opinion, and no-one is going to change my mind by spewing anti-MS comments that do not negate the flaws in the competition. I dislike Microsoft as much as the next person, but I (currently) despise a lot about Linux for desktop use as well, hence the use of Windows 7. Needless to say this doesn't have anything to do with my problem. This problem I'm having has never happened to me before (at least with OpenOffice), so I'm wondering what's going on. I can live with a few comparability issues such as formatting, but if Writer is writing a broken form of the .doc format when it used to work, I'd like to know what's going on. Interestingly enough, the .docx format works perfectly for my little test... -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/LO-Writer-3-4-0-basic-doc-odt-files-not-understood-properly-by-MS-Office-2010-tp3023234p3023315.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+help@libreoffice.org In case of problems unsubscribing, write to postmaster@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
