Re: [libreoffice-users] problem to open a word docx file

I use to deal with a lot of Visio documents.  DIA may still be able to 
load these files, but I had problems installing my copy of Visio onto 
Win-Vista so I had to drop using it.  Now that Ubuntu is my default 
system, I needed to find alternatives to Visio as well.

To be frank, MS Publisher files are not supported in most third-party 
software, and Visio files use to work with DIA diagram editor.  It would 
be great if some really ambitious person would make a filter/extension 
that would give LibreOffice the ability to read those files and maybe 
even edit them.  But I do not remember if they included those formats 
for their ISO format bit to take over ODF's spot as the International 
Standard for office suite file formats.  If they did include them, then 
somewhere there should be some documentation on those formats, otherwise 
it will be a much tougher problem.
