Re: [users] Writer and MSWord export deficiencies

Hi Matt, First, you can search for known bugs here http://www.openoffice.org/issues/query.cgi That said, you will find numerous bugs dealing with this particular issue. Fixing the issue was pushed back because resources were working on the newer Word export format, not that I know if the issu

Using OOo 3.0.0 on Windows XP Pro SP3. Why, after so long a time, cannot we export a Writer document that has footers to a MSWord document and expect the result to have the footers? Also, why does not Writer export page styles to MSWord? I have a fairly simple 2-page document, with "First Pag

>> OFF Topic, but need to be said. Then please label it as such. Much as I dislike MS, the reality is probably that some departments in some areas operated at large net losses and to stop that, they reacted with layoffs, right or wrong. A company that large has to have a lot of deadwood and

Re: [users] MS announces layoffs and revenue increase at the same time

MS made a net profit in the BILLIONS and they want to lay off people to cut spending. Can they cut the bonus spending and keep the people working? NO that would make sense. The Beaver wrote: What difference does it make if their money is "loose" or "tight"? Maybe the 5000 people they are layi

Re: [users] MS announces layoffs and revenue increase at the same time

What difference does it make if their money is "loose" or "tight"? Maybe the 5000 people they are laying off can not spell correctly. One extremely good thing about this economy is that people with little or no skills are finding themselves out of work and so hopefully people will go to school

OFF Topic, but need to be said. It is a sad day, Microsoft has announced layoffs. MS announced 2nd quarter net income of $4.17 billion, down 11% from last year. Yet, the company also reported revenue of $16.63 billion for the quarter, up 2% from 16.37 billion a year earlier. With reporting th
