Re: [libreoffice-users] Comments removed when savin .docx

Hi :)
Full docX support, as specified by the ISO standard, is apparently already the way LibreOffice 
supports docX.  The problem is usually that MS Office doesn't use the ISO spec so we have to work 
out how to adjust LO to be as quirky as MS Office.  Of course LO probably does have it's own quirks 
and bugs and those are hopefully being worked on to bring them in line with MSO practicalities 
rather than the idealised spec.  

I think there is an MS Office 2007 and a 2010 but afaik not a 2011 unless it's on Mac.  The MS 
Office 2008 is only for Macs and is really just 2007 with a different name to make it sound more 
advanced.  I heard a rumour that it was MSO 2003 with just the gui hacked around to give it the 
ribbon but rumours like that are not worth trusting.  
Regards from
Tom :)
