Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: looking for sdw-compatible, Linux version of Libre Office

I have the Archive page bookmarked.

I figured that downloading the older version[s] of LO would be easier 
than looking for an older Live CD/DVD that has the needed LO supported 
input format.

I remember when OOo did not even have .doc support, in those early 
days.  LO has grown up since its first official release a few years 
ago.  Yet, sometimes it would be nice to have support for all of those 
old legacy file formats that are rarely used anymore, just in case you 
find an old file in some archive that needs to be converted from an old 
format to the newer ones.

Maybe someone would make an extension to give LO users access to reading 
all of those legacy formats, when that is needed.  That way you can 
disable it when not in use but still have the ability to read all of 
those old legacy formats.  I have a lady who wants me to get her files 
off from a 5 inch floppy disc.  Now I have to find one somewhere, since 
I do not have one in my parts box.  I bet those files will be needing 
some of those legacy formats.
