Hi :)
Sometimes migrating to a new system means being a bit imperfect to start
with but then tighten-up down the road a bit.

Microsoft have a vested interest in making sure that ODF appears to be
problematic so that people are pushed into using their own formats.
However they are a bit stuck right now because everyone else who tries
seems to find it easy to implement ODF = it's only MS Office that has
trouble with it.  On the other hand everyone else, and even MS themselves,
seem to have trouble trying to implement the MS OOXML formats.
Regards from
Tom :)

Thanks Tom, I did install the whole program but this is not what you want
to do on a file server. Microsoft provide filter pack for open document
format but it doesn't work with recent version of odf files.

Regards,

Chris

Hi :)
I am not sure if any of the links on this page are useful

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Other_Documentation_and_Resources#Corporate_Users

You might have more luck talking to the devs on their irc channel
(whatever that is) or their mailing list.

I think the usual quickest answer is to just install the whole program.
 It's not large, unlike MS Office, and it's quite robust so you don't have
to keep patching it.  In the last 3-4 years there have been about 3
security issues and 2 of those were only potential possibilities and the
other required the user to do a bunch of dumb things.  New releases happen
in order to add functionality so most of us happily stick with older
versions.

Probably best to go with stable-branch and get the 4.1.6. That 3rd digit
is roughly equivalent to the "Service Packs" so the 6 means that branch has
really matured.  If the 4.2x has reached 4 then that is pretty rock-solid
too in which case i'd grab that.  Most of my machines are on 3.5.7 and i've
long since stopped worrying about exactly which version is where because
versions don't have all the incompatibilities and problems that spring up
between different versions of MS Office.

Hopefully something in there helps!

Tom :)

Hello,

I would like to install the optional component "windows explorer
extension"
on a "Windows 2008" file server because I need to index open document
format files saved on this server. I don't need the whole LibreOffice
suite
only this component. It's not possible with the installer to select only
the "windows explorer extension" but maybe there is a way to install this
filter manually ?

Thanks for your help.

Chris
