------- Additional comments from s...@openoffice.org Sat Oct 24 09:52:54 +0000 2009 ------- Don't worry, we are not removing Office 2003 compatibility. This filter, which will still exist, but will no longer be maintained by Sun's development forces, is about an experimental XML file format from Microsoft introduced in Office 2003, which was never their default format. This ".xml" suffix (none packaged/flat) format was instead the ancestor of the packaged OOXML format, which became the default format of Office 2007. Ths previous XML format is no longer supported by Microsoft. Similar we are focusing our filter development on the new OOXML format. As MS Office now supports ODF as well, you should rather switch to ODF or OOXML or invest development time to fix/enhance the OOoFilters of the deprecated Office 2003 XML format. You see, we are simply following the strategy of the owner of the file format and are forced to do so to be as efficient as possible with our development forces. I hope you will understand and hope that there will be someone in the community, who will assist you in your task. Have a nice week-end, Svante --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
