Today I want to burn my fingers :-| The filter status at http://www.koffice.org/filters/status.phtml and my experience importing various documents (word,excel,pdf) with more or less success tells me that koffice will hardly be accepted by any organisation as long as at least the import section has 5 stars for this documents. In addition to that it becomes more and more part of business life to share the writing of a document with other people outside of the own organisation. This is not possible as long KOffice does not provide full featured export filters or everyone agrees on a common standard (pdf) or KDE provides imoprt filters for MS-Office. Connectivity is the key for usablility and acceptance of KOffice and KDE otherwise at least business will have to use crossover and MS-Office. just my 2c -- cu ferdinand http://www.goesing.at ____________________________________ koffice mailing list koffice@mail.kde.org To unsubscribe please visit: http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/koffice
