Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: MS file compatibility in 4.0+ - comments in .doc

Hi :)
Quite!  

Some could view it as a marketing ploy to push people into using their format.  i can image the 
calls telling users they need to avoid 3rd party formats as though 3rd party is somehow dodgy 
rather than just meaning that MS can't manage to write code to support their own format let alone 
other organisations.  

However, now they seem to have been pushed into properly supporting the right format rather than 
just "paying lip service"
Regards from 
Tom :)
