As a general rule of thumb, what you are looking at here, is the tolerance that people have for differences in presentation markup and depiction. Some differences in presentation markup will cause differences in displayed content. The more complex the presentation markup of a document is, the more visible the difference between the document on the original machine, and the document on the "new" machine. The more complex the structural markup is, the more visible the difference between the document on the original machine, and the document on the "new" machine. If all you produce are A4 size pages with 20 mm margins, using 10 point Tahoma, with no embedded objects or images, then you won't see any incompatibilities between the different versions of MSO, much less the same version of MSO. OTOH, if you standard document includes 75 or more different fonts, with half a dozen sizes for each font, with each paragraph a different writing system, and occasional changes of writing system within a sentence, and you also include embedded objects, and images, you will notice the differences between different versions of MSO. Depending upon various other random factors, you may also notice differences when the same document is displayed on two or more systems that run the same version of MSO and Windows. jonathon -- Non-list email sent to this email address is forwarded to Dave Null, unread.
From: Bruce Martin on 9 Jun 2010 13:01 Hi Jonathon & Mark: What Jonathon is saying is about what I would have expressed generally in different words. Certain types of content are more prone to import/export problems than others. Generally this type of content is closer to being executable codes that mere text. Common examples are: - Vectorial graphics - Sections and some hyperlinks. - Animation I run into this on a regular basis, but have developed my own collection of workarounds. I see this in Oo Draw, which I use very frequently as a 2D CAD and more, I see some issues in Gimp when it comes to controlling selections, depending on the nature and colour distribution in the original image. When you try to do vectorisation - good luck! it's generally a matter of tracing and redrawing because a bitmap does not have the real information needed for the vectors to interact with each other properly. I am not sure if it is kosher to offer paid support service here or not, but if somebody can post a reply to that, and it turns out to be acceptable, I can offer. Best Regards, Bruce M. ========================================================= On 06/08/2010 08:57 AM, jonathon wrote: > On 06/07/2010 10:55 PM, Mark C.
