MS office supporting open standards.
Authored by: alisonken1 on Friday, February 08 2013 @ 10:47 AM EST
I have a sermon outline that is formatted as landscape with
2 columns in LO. There's an object on the top left with
lines around the box an the text inside the box to describe
the title, verses, and pastor/date. Looks great.

Import into MS Word. Everything looked ok - except the
bottom line inside the header box - it was reformatted from
12pt text to 24pt text.

MS gets that wrong.

Same outline, except it was created in MS office as 5.25x8.5
pages, with the object being a header. From word, it prints
fine, but when I import it into LO, the box object hides the
text inside the box and when I send it to my printer via LO,
the printer goes haywire.

MS "standards compliant" is rather "interesting" to say the

least.

They still have some way to go to get the interoperability
working correctly.

It's going to look even better. People like to own something... like a cd of
software. Or they just like to download it for free. It comes in a Windows
version too. And it comes with an SDK. And it comes with a database back end
that is not MSQL and that's free too.
