Re: [libreoffice-users] libreoffice - Internet Explorer impossible to open ODx document from web pages

Hi Tom , thks for your answer . I do all my test on PCs with IE and 
windows always updated to the latest patch released by MS.
I agree with you about your opinion about MS.
Unfortunately this kind of issue seems to affect many users that don't 
want change their browser (sometimes I'm talking of very basic users 
that are scared to use new program or don't have a knowdledge to install 
and use new browser ... other times could be medium size enterprise 
where the user are forced to use IE for specific application and prefer 
to haave only one browser and not one for app...).
The strange thinks is that the problem don't arise with Openoffice and  
that's strange .
If libreoffice would try to be the best opesource office suite and 
replace MSO also in medium enterprise I think it need to avoid at least 
this basic fault.
Ofcourse what I said is valid if confirmed that this is a bug and I'm 
not doing wrong things.
I will wait someone else that could confirm or not this issue. I guess 
not specific installation , any version of Win with IE could already 
give me more details.
Thanks Tom
Gianmarco
