------- Additional comments from gb...@openoffice.org Mon Feb 8 07:25:57 +0000 2010 ------- I had high hopes for your recent ODF importer for Word but it does not fix the problem I've been experiencing all along with various versions. Exporting an ODT file containing both words and inserted pictures to RTF is a disaster. The formatting is lost (eg centre justification goes to Left justification and the picture size and location is lost. So a three page document can easily become 4 or 5 pages with great white gaps, pictures misplaced onto the next page, some pictures missing and some on top of other pictures. The resulting file is completely unusable, but even if it were, attempting to import the file into Word 2000 locked up my PC, requiring a restart. This is limiting my ability to get rid of Microsoft. If I can't generate files that all my microsoft-using friends can read, I can't communicate with them. More correctly, I can -- using the PDF converter which works very well -- but that does not allow the MS-using friends to modify a file and collaborate. I wonder would this problem exist in Star Office? Is it just that I am getting what I am paying for? I suspect it may very well exist there too, so am reluctant to lay out money to find out. OOO is a great application, but it is important that it can work properly with word as it claims to do.
