--- Comment #9 from johann <j.vonpreus...@gmail.com> --- yes, the U.S. has the largest GDP in the world and China is second. neither the workers i have mentioned nor the farmers in Xian province are participants in any of that "wealth". in fact, over 80% of the executive directors -- the highest paid on staff -- are paid less than the **average wage** for their area ... not nearly the wage they should be paid for their level of responsibility. the lowest paid workers -- the ones i mentioned -- are paid only slightly above minimum wage. i am certain if you re-read my comment #7, you will find yourself having no trouble understanding what is at issue there. the 1,000 some people i have referred to are bare-bones users to which comment #7 would have no meaning at all. most of what they do is "fill in the blanks" on government forms and prepare memos. their level of app usage fully precludes their being of any help sorting out bugs. of the 300+ firms i would guess that there are less than a couple dozen people with the expertise to comprehend comment #7. however, if LO "out-of-the-box" does not work for them, there is no incentive to spend their precious time trying to make it work with absolutely no guarantee that that time will ever come. your offer of help is well appreciated, but this group is incapable of addressing LO's backlog of bugs. now as to .doc: none of these firms are without the ability to use the xml variants. in fact, just a few months ago i surveyed what formats they were using and found that only a handful of state and county forms were exclusively .doc. of course, these could be converted for internal usage, but then there is the re-export problem when they submit documentation and reports if LO cannot save correctly in the .doc format. so, if LO were fully working with .docx/.xlsx/.pdf things would be pretty good; but there remains some export problems. it seems a shame that the only solution i see for that problem is using third-party software to take the xml back to the old format. it is a further shame that after the many years of development of star-/open-office that .doc compatibility has never been fully implemented. and now, essentially, you are telling me that such compatibility actually is never going to happen via LO. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
