All,
I have a "word" doc that I can open and edit via a windows install of oowriter 3.0.0. I last saved the doc from that environment.
But from OS 11.2 with OpenOffice_org-writer-3.1.1.4-1.1.4.x86_64 installed, it opens as garbage.
Are there some known major issues with 3.1.1.4?
A bug has been reported, with a partial solution:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=564274
Is it really necessary to use the MS Office format? I do fine using the OD. The current MS Office has native support and Sun provides plug-ins for older versions. That's assuming they don't have OOo installed already. Unless someone specifically requests MSO, I always go with the open format.
Thanks, the fix (removing the kde specific oo extension) worked for this doc anyway. Regardless I also have it OD format now, but I get lots of incoming docs in MSO format, so at a minimum I need to be able to open them. And the bug prevented doing so for this doc. Also, as of what version of MSO is OD support native? In particular in the just the last 6 months or so I've started receiving docx and xlsx docs on a routine basis, so if MSO 2007 supports it, I might follow your lead since the world seems to be assuming MSO2007 is generically available.
