If the MSO2k7 users don't object to using a file format that is incompatible with MSO2k7, there is no reason to migrate to ODF. If, OTOH, their expectation is that their output is compatible on MSO2k7, then they should migrate to ODF. jonathon - -- Non-list email sent to this email address is forwarded to Dave Null, unread. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkuhMQcACgkQVyQBHg3MfvSh1ACg2qH1fNoIfwKO0P5qlvWCOG1b UkwAn2Vwd03UHddKdy1VJbK3s4wcJKhj =9Od0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: discuss-unsubscribe(a)openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: discuss-help(a)openoffice.org

I don't follow you. The reason this came up in the first place is that an Office 2007 user gave me a DOCX file that crashed writer 3.2 when I tried to open it. He sent me that file as an example of why he doesn't advocate using OOo in a "mixed" environment.

From: "Robert A Williams" on 17 Mar 2010 16:55 For information only, Microsoft Office 2007can open a DOCX, and can re-save it as .doc and other Microsft formats, and if Service pack 2 is installed it can also open and save in Open Document format.

From: Paul Douglas Franklin on 17 Mar 2010 17:34 Since the OP was prompted by someone sending him a .docx that wouldn't open in Ooo, then I think the appropriate response would be to supply him with a .docx that won't open in MSO2k7. --Paul jonathon wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > PJH wrote: > >> Doesn't Office 2007 produce Office 2007-compatible files? >> > > Just like all of its earlier versions, MSO2k7 is incompatible with MSO2k7. > > jonathon > -- Paul Douglas Franklin Computer Manager http://www.yugm.org/ /Husband of Danette/ /Father of Laurene, Miriam, Tycko, Timothy, Sarabeth, Marie, Dawnita, Anna Leah, Alexander, and Caleb/ Upgrade to the premier Office package today!
