Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: RTF support

Hi :)
Since we have no control over how MS mishandles their implementation of MS 
formats it would surely be better to convince people to switch to ODF formats.

People are happy to download pdfs and then click on the button to download the 
latest pdf reader from Adobe.  We could be pushing the ODF formats in the same 
way and for very similar reasons, ie that documents don't get screwed-up when 
everyone uses ODF.
Regards from
Tom :)

You are right: User A just wants to send a document to User B without an 
hassle (and vise versa).

Which is a good reason for Libre Office to do a better job at handling 
MS docs than MS does.
It would be noteworthy if the folks at MS Office Applications starting 
to get concerned about the developments at Libre Office.
