Losing information from W-2010 files? [closed]
I am editing a Word 2010 file (docx) and from my point of view it works nicely. Others complain that some of the editing information is getting lost. I believe that something is getting lost since when I open up a Word 2010 file that has a size of 257398 bytes, then just a "save as", the file size comes out to 141024 bytes (or about 2/3s the size).
Something is going away I believe. This is the first file I used after doing an install of 4.0.2 on my Linux (F17) machine.
I really DON'T want to go back to figuring out that ribbon sillyness if I have to!
Thanks.
I'm using LO version 4.0.2 (I had just loaded it up before sending the original request). I looked at the saving options, and there seems to be a couple of 'XML' saving options. I understand that there are some formatting options that might be deleted by saving in "word 2007/2010 xml" format. I suppose the more general question might be: What IS/IS NOT implemented in the '.docx' format, and how to figure out the differences.
There is no simple answer to you question, particularly as work is constantly being done to improve DOCX support. Even my answer is general to the point of being inaccurate. You can download the ECMA-376 (MOX/OOXML) specification here and the ODF specification here. It is more a question of approach and translation. Both standards seek to implement similar features.
