RE: [libreoffice-users] Re: docx format troubles

Hi :)
Yes, but in the original question in this thread it implied that the docX opened with no problems, 
it was only the saving back into that format that caused troubles.  Generally it would be great if 
we could get MS Office users to send stuff in their older formats.  But in this case it seems to 
have been ok :)

Tom :)

It is rather difficult to follow this advice if the acceptance of the docx/xslx/pptx into LO is 
defective.  Then the returned doc/xls/ppt will reflect that, unless the user manages to figure out 
how to correct everything in LO first [;<).

Hi :)

It does make life a lot easier to stick to MS's legacy formats.  Gradually moving people to 
OpenDocument Formats would be great and is likely to happen anyway as LO's market share increases.

Always send back docx/xlsx/pptx as doc/xls/ppt. All flavours of Microsoft Office fully support any 
of these heritage file formats and this office suite can handle them much better. There is no 
technical reason to share docx with users of MS Office.
Unfortunately, the LibreOffice project leads believe that broken support of broken file formats 
somehow serves the user.
