Re: [libreoffice-users] Document rendering flaw in LibreOffice

Hi Tom!
I'm surprised with that: IFAIK, the docx format was just the opposite: 
the (XML) Open Format reply of Microsoft to the banning of proprietary 
formats (the old .doc formats were especially targeted...) by the 
governments of a lot of countries, starting with the USA, Japan, several 
European countries...:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docx
I suppose that if Microsoft made available a converter pack (with read 
and WRITE capabilities), it was also not entirely for avoiding people to 
buy the new versions of MSO...
Best regards,
Jean-Louis
