When I need to send a draft document to someone else for review and comments I save it as a Word97 .doc file. When comments come back, I'll sometimes reconvert the document to .odt. Doing this with OO.o-3.x causes all sorts of formatting changes that did not occur with earlier versions.
When I use my OO.o letter template the document has the letterhead first page and continuation pages with a different header after that. What OO.o now does in the translation to .doc is put the letterhead on each page; it totally looses the different page styles. Also, it now inserts random spaces between words and, in a couple of cases, within a word. This is retrogressive behavior. It's time wasting and a PITA to have to go through each line to look for random changes. What a shame that it's becoming less of a collaborative writing tool than it used to be. Rich -- Richard B.
