This issue is a real stopper for wild adoption in organisations.

We are in the process of fully migrating from M$Office to OOo.
While this works quite well, user resistance is variable and somtimes based on
evething else than reason and facts.

We have all the PCs in 2.4.1 and started to g*have this problem when working
with partners in 3.0 (and also internanlly withthe testing PCs in 3.0).

Even if this bullet problem can be considered as minor technically (my
workaround is to cancel all style surcharges and apply the style again) THIS
CAN'T BE ACCEPTABLE IN A COMPANY perspective !

We are starting to convince other organisations and partners to use OOo, and
this bullet probelm is perceived by them as something important and not trivial
when you HAVE TO KNOW WHAT IS THE PROGRAM (2.4 or 3.0) who created the ODx file
!!! We are now in a worst situation than with M$ incompatibilities between
versions !!

Believe me, internally people stats to laught at this problem IN A BAD WAY, and
this specific problem is causing a lot of backslash on OOo credibility we where
patently building.

I understand that we can't carry a faulty implemantaion, and I don't know what
the solution is, but IMHO, if OOo3 has the right behaviour we should have a way
to save a file with bullets in a post 2.4.1 (2.4.2) and this file shouls works
well when going thru OO3 -> OO2.4.2-OO3.

If we want people understand what is ODT advantage in interoperability, WE
SHOULD SHOW IT instead of this really bad public relation one.

TIP : Give to an executive an OOo 2.4.1 diaporama re-opened and re(saved by OO3
5 minutes before is presentation, and afer being taken as an amateur beacause is
layout presentation is lame, let him explains what you should do with OOo :-<
and try to explain this ODT 1.1 / 1.2 real standard and so, and post the result
her :-))

As a conclusion, and as my english is bad, I want to be clear : OOo is a
fantastic tool, I struglle everyday to complete the full OOo switch in my
organisation, but this is a real, non technical, bad problem for OOo acceptance.
