Perhaps you could cover the open document standard and why universities should allow use of either .doc or odf formats, at least why they should perhaps offer both on computers, they may have to settle on 1 file format, the OU now ask for assignments to be submitted in .doc, as before it was either .doc, docx or .odf, so at least .doc is something both open office, libreoffice and MS office can cope with. and i guess it reduces issues for the people marking the assignments. perhaps using firefox over internet explorer (standards and security) thunderbird + lightning over outlook (cost, security etc) Paul -- Paul Sutton Cert SLPS (Open) http://www.zleap.net Open Mic nights - Wednesday 8pm to 11pm (14+) Free entry Breakin' Ground - Street dance for young people (8+) Wednesday 6pm (starts May 11th) The Lighthouse,26 Esplanade Road, Paignton 01803 411 812 or e-mail i...@devonmusiccollective.com for more info. 17th September 2011 - Software freedom day -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
