Just wanted add my own experience with OO 2.x. Although I was able to get most of my users to use it, anyone who used the Writer and Impress (which doesn't) for anything with special page details and imbedded graphics were sorely disappointed. Even after saving the document or presentation in any MS format, all the formatting was lost or scrambled when opened in MS Word and/or PowerPoint.
In order for OO to be useable for everyone and, hopefully, displace the MS equivalents, OO will need to save in a way that anyone who uses MS will not have any difficulty opening and viewing the content. For better or worse, MS is the standard that the corporate user knows and uses as the measuring stick. Once OO can accomplish that, all my users will switch to it.
Just my observation. Not trying to start a flame war.

I have found this problem in the past too when using ooo from openoffice.org. However, I found most, if not all, of these problems went away when I used the Novell version of ooo. Then the formatting problems went away. Even the Windows version. -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
