The problem is not that we are unwilling to explain to our co-workers that we are using LO. We, as I suppose many others, are trying to introduce LO in our organization slowly, step by step. Maybe it will never happen that all users use LO, but I personally would be happy if even half of them do. So, this means that we need interoperability between the new LO users and the old MS users. For the sake of this interoperability we are choosing the MS formats. We also cannot use the ODF format unfortunately because our external corespondents use MS. You ask why we use LO then? Well, we have, of course, legal copies of M$ Office, but they tend to age if you don't pay for ever new versions. So, we want to use it for the simple reason of saving some money on MS licenses. As for legal implications of signing MS formats with LO, I agree with krackedpress that this should not be an issue, although I'm not 100% sure. I hope there will be some universal standard for some kind of file container in the future where you could embed the actual file and it's digital signature together, whether it be MS document, LO documents, or even PDF, JPG, PNG, MP3, AVI... -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Digital-signing-MS-format-documents-tp3331970p3338940.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
