For example, I didn't know that the docx format was supposed to be MS's open document format. I just thought it was the latest update to MSO making everyone update to keep abreast. So much for my knowledge of MSO.
As regards Larry's comment, I endorse it. Read is right, write is wrong. Regarding the different pov's of posters about the advisability or not of writing docx, sometimes you've just got to take a stand, no matter what. It's a case for the marketing guys, not the developers. //James -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
