I recently started working with OOo, and I just saved my Writer document in Word
97/2000/XP format. I then opened the document in Word XP, and I was surprised
to see that (1) frame content (e.g., listings and diagrams) seemed to be missing
entirely, (2) special symbols were missing from the text (e.g., the mathematical
"there exists" symbol, which looks like a backwards capital E and which is
present in Windows' Symbol font), (3) some tab-based text was placed at the
wrong locations on the page (probably at the wrong tab stop), (4) superscripted
text was not superscripted, and (5) cross references to frames were replaced
with "Error! Reference source not found."
I don't need to share documents with people using Word, so these issues aren't
really problems for me, but I can imagine they'd be deal-killers for other
people. Should I be surprised to see so many things that don't translate
correctly from Writer to Word?
Thanks,
Scott
