Dear all, I can read a book written in German, but I cannot understand it. AOO does not seem to understand many docx, especially those with formulae. The files I use on a day-to-day basis need to have margins adjusted to 'fit' the pages, formulaes added and generally pictures too.
I think Microsoft does this on purpose. >"reads all current file types of major competitors." It may read it, but it does not always understand it.

Since you are (and correctly so) referring to file types, I would change to "reads all current file types of major competitors." The fact that it does not read one particular .docx file does not mean that it does not support reading the .docx file type. As for the discussion of Saving to OOXML format, personally I prefer OpenOffice's approach: if you can not do it right then don't do it. Other office suites try to save in OOXML but because it is an ever changing proprietary format, the files are not quite the same and many times I have witnessed lost of data and/or lost of formatting (which means lost of time and lost of users) Regards, Pedro --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
