The quality of OO's ability to read and write MS file formats isn't a true success, in my mind, because at any moment should OO gain traction Microsoft is capable of making a change and rendering the quality of OO's reading and writing to garbage. So that I can't be sure OO is always going to work. Which really isn't a fair criticism of OO and should be a serious condemnation of MS but that isn't the way the world sees it unfortunately :( Captain Nice cptn.n...@gmail.com "I love my computer, because my friends live in it!" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: discuss-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: discuss-h...@openoffice.org
