Re: [libreoffice-users] Problem viewing Excel charts in odt document

Hi :)
It is a great answer!  It's quite normal now for people to rely on Pdfs for
file-sharing.


Just my own opinion here but ...
MS have created a completely tangled mess of uncertainty.  Apparently
purely to "lock in" people to their products.  Then they ensured that
everyone has to buy their newer and newer versions in line with everyone
around them.
File - Export to Pdf
has been the only viable solution for most people for years now.

At last ODF presents an increasingly viable solution but it is still not
used quite widely enough and MS are not keen to encourage usage of
something that might threaten their market dominance!  However ODF is
gaining ground.

Regards from
Tom :)
