Re: [libreoffice-users] file recovery

Hi :)
Thanks :)  Since MS Office is the dominant Office on those machines i thought i 
would leave the LibreOffice saving to ODFs.  That way one advantage of using LO 
is easy access to that format.  I should check that ODFs don't try to open in MS 
Office because that would be a little bit irritating.  Right tool for the right 
job is best.
Thanks and regards from
Tom :)

Tom,
   Might want to uncheck them if you edit, write, and save in .doc filetype, as 
another lister noted a bug affecting .doc files and so unchecks these boxes, 
himself.  It was a bit quicker to recreate and I both missed things while 
getting other things better.  Thanks!
