Not at all. OpenOffice's native format is XML. If everything went to hell, I can always get the data out with XSLT or parse it info Jdom and do whatever I like with it. >> Can it generate SVG that the Adobe reader (for example) >> can render correctly? >Adobe reader is not free software; I couldn't care less. Was someone here trying to start a religious war? First, the whole point of the project is that I'm trying to move to free software from Microsoft. Second, I asked about whether Adobe's SVG reader can read the output as a measure of the state of the SVG output and nothing else. Third, I don't understand why you are defending using EPS above and shitting on the Adobe reader below. Even so, you may have to work on the svg output, EPS is probably the way to go. If the SVG output is close to being able to work, it may well be worth my effort. If it's far, it's probably not. That's what I am trying to get a feel for. . .
