Easing Compatibility Between OpenOffice, MS Office

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the can't-we-all-just-get-along dept.

Jane Walker writes "An office suite expert describes how to format documents in OpenOffice and Microsoft office using program features that will make ease compatibility headaches." From the article: "No two office suites are alike, and the more manual, highly controlled items you have in your document, the more likely the formatting will get messy when you go from one office suite to another. But if you use the formatting capabilities to indent and add spacing--well, that's more like just labeling a box Kitchen and putting the box somewhere that makes sense. The formatting tips in this article will also give you more professional-looking documents that are easier to update when the content or formatting rules change."

    Oh oh oh, look at me! I'm talking about OpenOffice.org (TM)!!! I'm a super smart geek! No, really, you know what? None of this matters. None of you have any say whatsoever in any standard that comes out of the ISO. So just shut the fuck up, and let the people with actual power do their damn jobs,

    Fuck off and die. I hate you all.
