Hi :) Brilliant! :) Nicely done! It did bother me a little that the macros didn't even work in MS Office. At my workplace we only have 1 set of documents that 'need' macros and they are all in the finance department. They were written for MSO 2010 and don't work in MSO 2007 and i'm guessing they wont work in MSO 2013 either. If the person writing the macros had not told us which version they were written for then we would have assumed they just don't work. As it is we had to buy MSO 2010 just a few months before 2013 was released. We only really needed it for 1 machine but ended up getting it for almost all machines. CHD is the chap that produced quite a few How-To videos and even managed to get them listed on the Documentation wiki. At the moment that is on https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Other_Documentation_and_Resources but i'm just creating a separate page for videos https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications/Videos and created a redirect for people that forget the "Publications" bit (ie such as myself in a few months). Now that i see he was doing research and has collected stats about it his whole mission there suddenly becomes more obvious and good to know about. It wasn't a paid-for bit of research with pre-planning and defined methodology and is not yet written up as a research paper and published anywhere except on this list so it's good to get the early results before it's all hidden behind fancy language! It's actually a little higher than i expected which is also good news :) 99.75% of documents being compatible is quite astounding! Thanks and regards from Tom :)

H. D. ha escrit:Hello! Do I support LibreOffice? Yes, I do. Let me show some positive numbers: When I downloaded 400 .doc files, I opened 399 files in LibreOffice. Only 1 could not be opened. All 400 files were smaller than or equal to 692.5 KB. I started the testing from the smallest file to the largest file. It happened to be that I could not open that one file which was 692.5 KB. I am not a Maths expert. 399/400 = 99.75% Congratulations! This is excellent! Well done. To make a rough conclusion, I claim in a reasonable way that LibreOffice can open 99.75% of the .doc files I may come across in future if these files are smaller than 700KB. I do not know if these numbers are scientific enough. However, such information definitely helps me to say that LibreOffice 4 is really good! Microsoft Office is not my area of interest, by the way. It is just that someone uses it. There were cases when Word could not open .doc files in the past. These cases are not my area of interest. Regards, C. H.

I think it is an interoperability issue.If you are very concerned about interoperability, you should be contacting m$ and ask them why they cannot open odf documents created using LO. Have you done this?I searched the Internet and looked for documents randomly to test if LibreOffice can open them. This is the authentic test.No, a more authentic test is to search for odf documents and compare of LO and m$ opens these types of documents.If Microsoft Office opens the .doc files correctly, LibreOffice should also open them correctly.No, LO is not a m$-clone. If LO opens the odt document correctly, m$ should also. Have you tested this?If Microsoft went bankrupt, what office suite would be able to handle thousands of .doc files?Unlikely, but that is the fault entirely of the user that creates the document in the m$ file format!!! If LO, or any other odf-compliant software disappears, you can find another. That is why you should be testing "interoperability" with odf and not m$ formats.Then, the data in the .doc files would be lost if no other office suite was able to open them, I am afraid.I hope that happens (but a small possibility).Not many people like converting .doc files into .odt files, I am afraid.That is their choice.
