Re: [libreoffice-users] Error with open ppt

Hi :)
+1
except that MS Office is available for Mac but just because it's available doesn't mean it's 
installed on every machine.  

I agree that we should be welcoming people in instead of giving them abuse and also think we should 
be helping them deal with people that have not yet been able to install LibreOffice/OpenOffice, 
Lotus Symphony, Calligra/KOffice, google-docs or any of the other choices that use the ODF format 
well.  
Regards from
Tom :)

It depends on the OS, if Linux you can not use MSO because there is no MSO version available. Also, 
it was not stated how the file was obtained or created. I use Linux and often must open a MSO file 
so accurate file conversion is always a potential, nagging issue.

Also, unstated but implied is whether a Windows/MSO machine is even available.

Mac users may also be in the same position, no MSO installed or available and they have a file they 
need/want to open that is in a MSO format.

Stop assuming the user has access to MSO, many do not. And many are sent or must download files in 
MSO formats because others are too lazy/stupid to provide alternate formats.
