Hi All, This is Sameer, who is trying to learn as well as educate the user to use the Worlds one of the best Open source software. i.e OpenOffice. As I couldn't figure out, to whom this email should be addressed, I'm doing it for all. Please let me know for whom it should be so that I can address it properly next time.
While working in OpenOffice we come accross some issues which I thought of addressing you so that they can be tested in your QA lab, and if they really exist get resolved in the next release of Openoffice. As I'm giving out the issues from the live senario, if these gets resolved faster, Openoffice will become more and more user friendly as well as more and more users will accept and like it. If there is any other way to convey the message to you, please let me know that as well. I very well understand that there are forums and mailing lists are available for the openoffice help and support. Now about the problems no not exactly problems but rather queries... The basic issue I/we face is, compatibility with the MS office 2003, as we always exchange the documents with the ms office users. Issues in Writer... 1. When a document is formated using OOo3.x, and saved into a .doc format and re-opened into OOo3.x it is found that the document formatting is changed. e.g. Page background, table formatting etc. 2. It is also found that, If a document has a watermark in it and is saved into .doc format the watermark get stretched up to the page width. 3. When a graph is imported from a Calc into a writer, the font of the graph shrinks horribly Issues in Impress.... 1. One of the major issues we are facing in impress is tables. The default table has blue color which anyone does not like at all. Everyone has their own style of creating a table in Calc which when is paste in Impress, changes all the formatting badly in Impress. The table gets it own blue color and all other. Everyone is looking for a default editable table with just rows and coloms, no default formatting fonts, color like blue. There is also no provision for changing the default table format which would have saved the users some or the other time. Issues in Calc.... I'm colloecting it. There are many actually. I've many issues like this in openoffice, which I want to resolve and encourge the users to use and spread Openoffice. Looking for your help in all these and many such issues. If I'm missing something or going wrong somewhere, please feel free to let me know. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks & Regards, Sameer Shinde.
