Lotus Symphony is essentially an *older* version of OpenOffice.org with a new Eclipse based frontend, a few customizations... and not a lot more (although they did some bug fixing that didn't always make its way back into the OOo trunk). So, any file format/round-trip quirks in LS are highly likely to be the same as in the OOo3.0/3.1-ish timeframe (last time I know of that IBM took a snapshot of OOo for LS).
Emphasis on old; LibreOffice is going to be far ahead of LS in terms of document compatibility. LO seems at this point to already be far ahead of OO. -- System & Network Administrator [ LPI & NCLA ] http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com OpenGroupware Developer http://www.opengroupware.us Adam Tauno Williams -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
