Open Office seems to have a fixation on compatibility with Microsoft Word a=
nd Excel. For those of us who use or have used Corel WordPerfect and Quat=
troPro, Open Office is not very useful. QuattroPro especially has changed =
considerably since version 6 and when I try to open later versions of Quatt=
roPro with Calc I get a blank sheet.

Please give consideration to fixing this blind spot. Until this is done I,=
for one, do not find Open Office to be of much help since I try to avoid t=
he use of Word and Excel as much as possible. I have many existing files i=
n QuattroPro versions 9-12 and WordPerfect same versions. WordPerfect will=
usually open in Open Office, but not QuattroPro. =20

Thanks.
