read their document archives that they spent years creating.
As an aside, since when does OOo not open WordPerfect files? I used it
to open one just this morning.

which shows up three or four times in the log:
"The file C:\Program Files\LibreOffice

that application and retry."
Note that ALL of the Libo-related (and OOo-

that foreign manufacturers don't, so a tax is created on Product X
that specifically exempts the domestic manufacturers).

better idea. However, I should note that even ODF
files--despite the hype--are not 100% on preserving formatting when
moved from one application to another. I have my letterhead saved as
ODF done in OOo, but when I open it in AbiWord the formatting is all
over the place.

y I use it. Regardless of what LibO does, MS is going to continue to
use OOXML, and if the open source suites don't support it, then they
are shooting themselves in the foot and essentially doing MS's bidding
by ensuring that people who want to exchange files in that format have
to buy
OOo. (I've tested using OOo 3.1, 3.2, and the latest 3.3 RCs.)
Anyone else observed this, or able to explain why?

I do, too, and I think they are consistent, descriptive (what the heck
does "stages" mean?), and well-known throughout the community of
users. I don't see a need to change simply for the sake of change.

Really? Because I can't recall the last time I drafted a legal brief on

And by publishers and designers, who want to see how a page will look
before they have the copy to insert into it. It's actually a
tremendously valuable tool that I use very, very frequently.

about terribly much in my daily use, but I think that if you want the
application to be seen as a professional level app, "pretty" is an
important part of that.
