Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Installing LibreOffice - problem

I just had to deal with a .docx file this morning that was sent to me 
for editing.  I could never do what I did with the last version of OOo 
that I had.  Also, I never did get a newer version of MSO beyond 2003.

If I did not have LO, I would not be able to deal with the documents 
sent to me from different agencies I get every few weeks.  Many seem to 
believe that everyone has the same office packages as they do and send 
the .docx and other "x" files, when I know that some of the people they 
deal with have Office 2003 or earlier since they did not have it in 
their budgets for the newer ones.

So LO does MSO files better than OOo ever did.
