Re: [libreoffice-users] LO 3.5 corrupts DOCX completely

Hi :)
Actually MS Office 2007 and 2010 can both open the older Odf formats (errr Odf = OpenDocument 
Format which makes that sentence clunky).  To switch LibreOffice to the older format try

Tools - Options - "+Load/Save" - General 

then about mid-way down the sub-page is a drop-down saying
"1.2 Extended (recommended)" click on that and roll it 2 places backwards up the list and choose 
"1.0 / 1.1".  Hmmm, the older format was not so great with spreadsheets (allegedly) but was totally 
fine with word-processing.  

MS, as a professional company, obviously couldn't risk using a format that was in widespread usage 
for about a decade but not officially released beyond a 'beta-testing' stage.  The 1.2 standard was 
only fully released last year sometime and a year is not long enough for MS to respond.  

Just out of curiosity why do i get tons of complaints from TDF officials when i say MicroSquish but 
the more derogatory term used by e-letter is apparently fine?  This is the only list that has a 
problem with my term.  Even MS fanboy lists seem to like the cuter term when i use it there.
Regards from
Tom :)
