[Tfug] OpenOffice annoyances

[Matthew T. Eskes]

Claude,

I don't use it enough to be of any real help so I am sorry. However, I would
like to know if you would happen to have any idea as to if OOo has a filter
for .docx files? Seems, that MS made it so open that I can see the XML
underlay of the zip compression but its such a Cluster F that I cant find
the parent document of all the XML to start out with so I cant really do
anything with the file unless I want to edit the raw XML? If you or anyone
else have any ideas, I would appreciate it. As for documents, the only thing
I really know of are the docs on Suns site.

Matt

Subject: [Tfug] OpenOffice annoyances

I find myself using OpenOffice more and more in order to collaborate
with MS Word users.  And I'm running into a lot of annoyances: e.g., I
don't like the default keybindings, the bullets toolbar acts as if it
were pinned to the desktop, OOo windows don't show up in FVWM's pager.
There are probably others but these are the big ones that I ran into
today.

I'm wondering if anybody who has had more experience with OOo can
point me toward a good resource (online docs, dead trees, a decent
forum, etc) for customizing OOo and/or dealing with its quirks.  This
is definitely a time when I'd prefer something simple, as I'm not
using OOo so much that I actually want to learn it--just fix it.

Thanks,

Claude
