[libreoffice-users] Re: docx format troubles

Hi :)
MS Office is temporarily having troubles with security issues.  It might be
that the person you are sending to has troubles with .docx, .doc and .rtfs
from other people too.  Apparently a patch was released by MS on Tuesady to
fix the security issue but that patch might be causing this problem.  

On the other hand it could be a LibreOffice problem.  The 3.4.x branch is
often better at .docX format than the 3.3.x branch.  A lot of programs have
trouble with the .docX format so it's probably better to stick with the .doc
format.  

The best answer is to give them the link to download LibreOffice so that
they can use the much safer Odt format.  MS Office can't read the newer Odt
format that LibreOffice and most other programs use by default.  People
would download something to read a Pdf so why not for Odt? ;)  I think
people worry until they find they can keep MS Office as their default Office
Suite but still have LO alongside it for the types of things that MS Office
can't do so well (Draw, Math, Export to Pdf, not constantly running into
security problems, etc).  

So, i would give them a .doc version, maybe a Pdf too and the download link
so they can get LibreOffice.

Tom :)
