------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Jan 13 02:40:17 -0800 2006 ------- Hello, I have been discussing this problem already in two other issues, which have now been marked duplicates. So here I go again : I can only stress, as this has already been done in another post, that for the scientific community this problem is of major importance : when I suggest to a colleague using OOo, one of the first questions will be : are the equations compatible ? It is also not an option to install the starsymbol font , as the whole point in saving as word document is, that I can send this document to a person who does not have installed OO, and does not know anything about StarOffice. Actually the whole effort that has been made by OO programmers to make writing equations in OO compatible with (or exportable to ) Microsoft equation is rendered useless if the greek letter problem is not resolved. I also find it still difficult to conceive how on the one hand greek letters in the equations are dependent on one not available font and ont he other hand inserting greek letters into the text using Insert/SpecialCharacter is no problem at all and exports correctly to Word. Could not be one option, that when exporting to .doc format, that the special characters from the starsymbol font are replaced by the correct codes for th symbol font, available on all systems that will open .doc with word ? Thanks for listening to my rambling Oliver --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
