From: "Joshua Lee" on
Question, Did I read that post right? Or am I confused? It seems like
you said OpenOffice.org isn't going to continue to support MS office
extensions. If so, I am 100% against that idea. BOOO. My biggest
selling point when convincing people to convert to the OpenOffice
religion [:-)] is that it is very compatible with MS Office. I've
installed OpenOffice on nearly 3000 users' PCs now, and I wouldn't have
been able to convince half of them to let me do that if OpenOffice
couldn't handle MSOffice formats.

The support in OOo is for the formats introduced with Office 2007 (an
early version of Office Open XML), not with the Microsoft Office XML
formats, so the file is not recognized as one that OOo can use. Neither
conforms to the "standard" Microsoft pushed through for its future XML
types, so they will lose MS support before too long anyway.

When you refer to Open Office for Windows -- did you actually download
from www.openoffice.org, or somewhere else? Or did you not download and
install at all? Ordinary use of OOo does not require registration on the

web site. Registration is needed for forum participation, submitting
issues, and other things like that, not for using the applications or
for participating in mailing lists like this one (where your messages
are seen by volunteers, not by anybody in OOo administration). Why do
you expect to log in?

By the way, please respond only to the list (discuss(a)openoffice.org), so

others can help as needed.
