fixes??) with themselves. I've seen/heard many complaints that documents produced in one version don't print out exactly the same using another ... different page breaks, automatic spacing and things like that.
That can even come down to printer drivers. You can open up a new document on Office 2007... create/edit/layout the contents. Move that document to another computer running Office 2007 but with a different printer driver as default and the layout will change (I used Office 2007 as an arbitrary example here... could be any equivalent versions). Then add to the mess by changing Office version and you have yet again a whole new layer of incompatibility or changes. Try creating a presentation in PowerPoint2010 with nice transitions etc.. then open that same document (if you can) in Office 2003... you won't have the exact same presentation anymore. People are using any number of combinations of MS Office and printer drivers. Anything you create in MSO has a good chance of being borked in any other random version of MSO. You will find the same level of oops in LibreOffice. The latest LibreOffice is much improved over previous version - it even can open Visio files now. You should find less incompatibility between LO and MSO... although.. Office Open XML (docx, xlsx etc) and MS Office still has interesting hidden layers of WTF built into it that will periodically reach out and smack you when you're trying to round trip a document.... my pet peeve is... set up a spreadsheet in LibreOffice, export to xls or xlsx... open in MS Office 2010, make an edit, save... now open that document in LibreOffice again and all your formulas will have been stripped out by MS Office when it saved. Not LibreOffice's fault.. it's MSO being annoying. C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
