Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: OASIS Standard ODF 1.2 Approved

Hi :)
All releases of LibreOffice have used the 1.2 (Extended) by default.  I think OpenOffice was using 
it for quite a long time before that too.  I think the only program that still uses the older 1.1 
or 1.0 formats is MS Office 2010.  I think Google-docs, KOffice, Calligra, AbiWord & Gnumeric 
(together those 2 form Gnome Office) and the IBM's Lotus Symphony (or whatever it's called) all 
have been using 1.2 for a few years.  

In LibreOffice you can confirm by clicking on
Tools - Options - "+ Load/Save" - General
about half-way down there is a drop-down showing "1.2 (Extended)".  I usually change this to the 
older 1.0/1.1 in order to be able to send stuff to MS Office users more easily.

If you do have an older program then install any version of LibreOffice instead! ;) Lol
Regards from
Tom :)

Congratulations to all.

I believe that a solid open file format is extremely important. 

Am I correct to assume that ODF 1.2 is backward compatible? I.e. an old
application will still be able to open a ODF 1.2 document?

Dennis, one curiosity since you were one of the editors: I assume you didn't
use LO Writer to compose the 1217 page document. Which program did you use?
Scribus?
