Release notes

Thanks for the heads up!

Hmm, Ubuntu's auto update didn't say anything about Ooo.

 

[Crusty]

Ubuntu will not include OO 2.4 until a major OS Version is changed. Somebody MIGHT backport it, but don't expect it to be officially supported until a new OS is released.

I upgraded it on my laptop, which is my "experimental" system. However, not experimental enough to go with a pre-release version of Hardy.

well thats the thing, its april, hardy will be a full release pretty damn soon. how does it work with docx? doesnt 2.4 include some support for it?

 

[ethebubbeth]

I actually don't have any .docx files to test it out with. I'm still angry at Microsoft's successful fast tracking of OOXML as an ISO standard

Hardy is supposed to be released on 4/25. Hopefully it will included OO 2.4

I believe 2.3 has support for docx, the problem is it looks a lot like a zip file so ubuntu (gnome) wants to treat it as such. Just open it in OOo and you should be good.

i had a misunderstanding
i think with 2.4 you can save to docx, which you cant do with 2.3

yes, it opens docx, i forgot about that, as my interest comes from having a class that *requires* docx submissions :-/

I have OOo 2.4.0 and I could not find any way to save as a docx file.
