Yes is that a problem :( I need to save it in.doc format as my firm uses MS Word Adam Yes, it can be very much of a problem. The MS formats were closed and had to be reversed engineered to get what is available. The ability to create MS formats is better in OOo then MS's ability to create ODF formats. You should also ways save in the native ODF format and only save as MS format just to send a copy to someone else. If you really need 100% compatibility then you really need MSO. ** Please reply to the mailing list, to keep the information available for others ** So just to clarify, if I save in native ODF format and only save as MS format just to send a copy to someone else, when I do send it to others they will see the correct cross-references! Appreciate if you could confirm this otherwise I may end up in a real mess. Thanks Adam
The only way to verify that is to test it, on each file. Some of the formating will 'stick' others will not. There are file viewers for MS formated documents from MS. If your running a version of Windows you can use those to see if the documents come out the way you want.
