Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: no answers to my question

Hi :)
Thanks Alex!  I guess we would rather have devs working on more widely used stuff.  It's always 
possible to put these ideas forwards possibly for Extensions and just see if that sparks a new dev 
into working on LibreOffice.  I was wondering if there was already an Extension for OpenOffice or 
something lurking around some long forgotten corner of the internet but i guess the original poster 
would have already tried googling for that sort of thing.  

I found the link that i keep losing
http://blog.freedomsponsors.org/about/
but if Apple are no longer supporting their own formats then i doubt anyone else will be keen to!
Regard from
Tom :)
