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

Hi :)
I think it depends on whether you mean the  implementation as actually used in 
MS Office 2007 & 2010 or the theoretical standard as agreed by various 
organisations.  Why MS do not seem to have followed the standard they drew-up 
could possibly be a marketing ploy, or at least perceived as such.  Either that 
or they are inept at implementing their own standard.  Either way it does not 
inspire confidence in using their new formats especially when they don't work 
and their old formats do.  

Regards from
Tom :)

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
