Success seems to be hit or miss with 3.3.x. I have heard reports that 3.4.0 has better success opening .docx formats but I have not confirmed this. I have seen macro generated documents in particular be very troublesome with 3.3.x. LO 3.4.0 is not all the repositories yet so I do not know if you can currently upgrade with Suse or if you wish to try downloading it and installing. I check the Ubuntu repository and the current LO release is 3.3.2 and I am not sure when 3.4.0 will be pushed out. -- Jay Lozier jsloz...@gmail.com -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org In case of problems unsubscribing, write to postmas...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
