Re: [libreoffice-users] Question about LO Writer and "complex documents"

       Maybe someone would be so kind as to explain the difference between
.ODT & .OTT;
          when is the latter used & how does it differ?

     Is the problem with Complex documents really about the complexity, or
is it about using LO and ?Word on a complex document?

complex.
