Hi :)
Google do seem to be a bit evil and unsupportive sometimes.  Oddly they
were on the Advisory Board for TDF when they removed ODF support for their
products!  - or sometime around then.  Apple were based on BSD, a
brother/sister to Gnu&Linux, but went off in a proprietary/secretive
direction.  "Google Summer of Code" and many of their other things are
great but they definitely tend to do odd things at others.
Regards from
a Tom :)

Recent versions of MS Office are supposed to be able to work with Open
Document files.  Have you tried to see what happens when you use it with
ODF files?

Thank you for the suggestion. My personal computer is Linux only, but
I'll check it out on the school's computers to see how well MSO reads
and writes to .odt. I don't even know what version of MSO the school uses.


I shall have to check also. I'll send to some students as guinea pigs.

one thing I've observed is that in spite of being a (partly) Linux
company, google-drive does not treat .odt files kindly: it seems to list
the unzipped contents instead of showing properly formatted text.

the school uses google-apps for education, specially designed for use in
schools (more privacy, closed environment).
