RE: [OOo-Hebrew] OO compatibility with MS-Office

Hi yba

As far as I understand Open Document is the default file format for OO (maybe not the native). Since I moved to OO2 I (and almost anybody else I know use the ODF) I save files only in ODF formats. SXW format is used only for backward compatability. ODF is one of the major advantages of OO.

Hi Ami,
The project mentioned in the link is the docx-odt translator. This has 
little to do with MS Office OOo compatability.

The OOo native format is not ODT. To use ODT with OOo you actually use 
filters like the .DOC filters. So using the docx-odt project with OOo 
means that you do double translation, doc->odt->sxw, instead of the 
current single translation doc->sxw when opening MS Office documents. Hard 
for me to beleive that this will offer any improvement. If anything, it 
will make the situation worse, at least initially.

Alan?
