FWIW, the OOo slide in the Kubuntu Maverick slideshow has good text that explains the compatibility without raising user expectations too high. It doesn't say fully compatible, it simply says "works with documents from office suites like MS Office and Wordperfect" or something like that.
-- Slideshow for OpenOffice states OOo is "fully compatible" with Microsoft Office which is not true https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/644150 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubiquity Slideshow, which is subscribed to ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu in ubuntu. Status in Installer Slideshows for Ubuntu & friends: Triaged Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Binary package hint: ubiquity The slide for OpenOffice in Ubiquity (viewing now on the Netbook ISO Wubi install) says: OpenOffice.org is fully compatible with Microsoft Office" and that is not true. It is "mostly" compatible... or somewhat compatible, but not fully compatible due to Microsoft's heavy use of VBscript and such in Office tools like Access and Excel. Also, MS Word docs do not always render properly in OO and vice versa due to some variance in how the configurations for each document type is handled. This is a very common complaint about using OpenOffice and saying that it is "fully compatible" is not accurate. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubiquity-slideshow Post to : ubiquity-slideshow@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubiquity-slideshow More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
