Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: MS Word compatability

Hi :)
+1
It is still important for LibreOffice to improve compatibility with certain
secretive and constantly changing formats.  Our devs do a fantastic job
with this but this is one area where even fairly normal point&click users
(such as me) can actually help them directly.

Marc's answer should have been mentioned before i went off on my little
rant.  I do still think there is an opportunity there for the Translation
Agency to improve it's services in the way they doubtless want to do
anyway.  However, posting a bug-report about how well/badly certain formats
are read in LibreOffice helps improve the program/suite in a practical way
for all of us :)

Thanks and regards from
Tom :)
