Of course, we need to fill in the blanks ;-)

Here's the needed information. Feel free to rephrase.

We do no longer read or write the legacy StarOffice formats (files with extensions .sdw, .sdc, .sdd, etc.). Removal of this code makes the OpenOffice codebase easier to maintain. The legacy formats have never been the default format in any version of OpenOffice. Users with legacy StarOffice documents are advised to re-save them into ODF format (*.odt, *.ods, *.odp, etc.) *before* upgrading to Apache OpenOffice 4.0. This can be done using File - Wizards - Document Converter in OpenOffice 3.x. OpenOffice 1.x files (*.sxw, *.sxc, *.sxi) are still supported.

Regards,
  Andrea.
