Keeping in mind that your average joe end user is looking to 'save' his file, not 'export' it. Moving doc and docx file save to the export menu results in another thing to teach the end user rather than it being intuitive. I support a warning message for any and all exports, but we should keep it as simple as possible for end users. It is also important that LibreOffice does not recognise an export/save to doc/docx as a 'save' but rather an export so the program will prompt the user to save in ODF when closed. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***

Yes I know, but I think it is easy to learn for squared average joe end user, I support a warning message for any and all exports, but we should keep it as simple as possible for end users. Yes, I think so, an example is GIMP, the image modifier software, when you want to save in jpeg format it asks you to export It is also important that LibreOffice does not recognise an export/save to doc/docx as a 'save' but rather an export so the program will prompt the user to save in ODF when closed. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***

[tdf-discuss] docx export
Just a thought Might the following message be useful the first time a user tries to save in docx. -- Caution: this format is only fully supported by MS Word since 2007. Saving in this format may not be suitable if you wish to share data with users of older versions of Word or users of other file formats. If you are sharing with users of older versions of Word, the .doc format is recommended. Please select which format to save as: [ ] DOCX[ ]DOC [ ]Remember my choice and don't ask me this question again when DOCX is selected. -- In the selection for which file-type to use, would the following phrasing be useful. Docx is there - just not encouraged! If my understanding is correct, docx is an xml representation of the binary format, so saying .doc is a format for Word 97-2010 is correct. MS Word 97-2010 (.doc) MS Word 95 (.doc) MS Word 6 (.doc) MS Word 2007-10 (.docx) -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***

If my understanding is correct, docx is an xml representation of the binary format, so saying .doc is a format for Word 97-2010 is correct. The situation is more complex. There are at least 3 different DOCX versions: 2007 transitional, 2010 transitional and strict (which will arrive in 2013 or later). Users do not have the slightest idea of the complexities associated with standard formats. -- Italo Vignoli - The Document Foundation E-mail: italo.vign...@documentfoundation.org Mobile +39.348.5653829 - VoIP: +39.02.320621813 Skype: italovignoli - GTalk: italo.vign...@gmail.com -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
