Re: [libreoffice-users] converting .odt to .doc

Tom, that's not an option in this case.  The file has to be uploaded 
(via a third party) and will reject an ods file before even looking at it.

Odd about the xlsx formats changing, since through its shenanigans (I'm 
being generously polite with that term) a few years ago Microsoft got it 
accepted as an international standard.
