------- Additional comments from gqu...@openoffice.org Wed Dec 16 09:28:49 +0000 2009 ------- I would like to see the "Save As" option to Word 95 and Word 6.0 Formats disabled by default. Pros to disabling: * The export to 95/6.0 is much worse than saving to other formats, 97/2000/XP for instance (yet the warning is the same) * I have had several users accidentally click on 95/6.0 when they meant 97/2000/XP. (the result was a complete loss for them) * Very few people still collaborate with MS Office 95/6.0. * It cleans up the Save As menu. Cons: Harder for people who do collaborate with 15 year old file formats. -> Make it an option that they have to turn on. Overall, this should help the majority of OpenOffice.org users who have to occasionally choose a format that is not odt. Similar to issue 107220 but that asked for a different solution (autobackup in odt). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
