was this:Quoting:Novell and Corel have versions of OpenOffice.org that support OOXML. Why don't you have similar support? Their versions have converters, which, at this point, don't yet do a flawless job translating between ODF and OOXML. In addition, IBM's customers haven't asked for this capability yet. ODF use dwarfs the use of OOXML. |

Quoting:Novell and Corel have versions of OpenOffice.org that support OOXML. Why don't you have similar support?You could ask similar but opposite question, Why should they? May be IBM doesn't think it is necessary or worth the effort for them. May be they are asking a similar question, why doesn't MS support ODF, which is already an ISO standard, without having to spend the extra efforts and resources to develop a converter. Quoting:...which, at this point, don't yet do a flawless job translating between ODF and OOXMLI guess when you have this translator perfected and to a 100% conversion, then you can ask all these questions. Until then, don't bother because you have no point in asking them at this time. |

Quoting:Maybe that's exactly what you would have discovered if you had read the entire quote!A little of elaboration doesn't hurt and might be helpful! :) |
