Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: MS Works import

Hi :)
Looks good to me.  It's not too long and gets to the point quickly.  

Annoyingly (& not your fault) the url is not clickable but it is better practice 
to copy&paste a url into a web-browser for security reasons.  Adding an 
attachment was smart but it opened fine for me in Ubuntu 10.04 using LibreOffice 
3.3.2.  


So, the report is far better than most people's.  The devs might ask for further 
detail when they get time to go through the report, as that is a standard thing 
for them to do.  It's better than having an excessively long report full of 
irrelevant details.  Even tho LibreOffice has a ton of devs it could be a few 
weeks before they get around to it.  


Congrats and nicely done.

Can you install the LibreOffice 3.3.3 alongside your current version of 
LibreOffice just to see if that has more success opening the file or are you 
already using the 3.3.x branch?
