At one point—and I write this prior to checking—one of the options to save was "OpenOffice Format" (maybe they didn't include capitals). I was able to open and save as ODT (or other ODF files, but I didn't try them all). This was early in Google Docs' life. I'll check out the latest iteration, but I have no reason to doubt you; I just am curious as to what a Mac OS X user can expect to experience, even using Chrome but not only. > > 2nd, Android is not Gnu/Linux Indeed it is not GNU/Linux. It is generally regard, however, as "… an operating system based on the Linux kernel with a user interface".* But then I never said it was based on GNU/Linux. (I have issues with Wikipedia all the time but we can provisionally accept their language here as acceptable, yes? This does not mean that Android is "free" as accepted by FSF, which of course also has had issues with Linux itself. I mean GNU/Linux. ;-) > > FC > -- > During times of Universal Deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary > act > Durante épocas de Engaño Universal, decir la verdad se convierte en un Acto > Revolucionario > - George Orwell * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system) cheers, Louis --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
