The quick work-around is to have them install the ODF plugin: http://www.sun.com/software/star/odf_plugin/ That helps mitigate the DOCX problem closer to the source. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: discuss-unsubscribe(a)openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: discuss-help(a)openoffice.org

You're saying that the person with Office 2007 should install an ODF plugin? -- Pete Holsberg Columbus, NJ Always acknowledge a fault.

However, that is not practical when there are large numbers of Office 2007 installed. And why should those people do anything to make their stuff palatable to OOo users? "Let 'em buy Office 2007!!!" I don't see any motivation for a dyed-in-the-wool MS user to want to use ODF, do you? -- Pete Holsberg Columbus, NJ Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.

Yes. That's the fastest work around until they can arrange to upgrade to a better suite. Follow the link above. The waste caused by proprietary formats won't go away without a bit of conscious effort. However, take any further discussion over to another list. /Lars --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: discuss-unsubscribe(a)openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: discuss-help(a)openoffice.org
