--- Comment #5 from Alex Thurgood <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Lionel Elie Mamane from comment #4) > Just to be clear, if one does "file / save as" from the generated report, > and saves *there* as "Microsoft Word 2007-2013 XML", then it is correctly > saved as .docx, right? Yes, I tried this yesterday and could open a normal report (i.e. containing tabular formatted report data) in Word 15.17.1 on OSX. > > I don't understand this "Tools/Options: Load/Save -> General / Always save > as"... "Clearly" only Writer obeys that... I can't imagine Calc or Impress > following that setting. But nothing in the setting says it is for Writer > only. IMHO, that's a UI problem. Some large business deployments, e.g. corporations and administrations use this option as a default to "trick" users into thinking that they're working with a MS-Word clone, or because they have a policy of always saving to docx, but as far as I understood, yes, this only applies to word processing documents. And personally I agree, it is more of a UI problem, but perhaps there is more to it than I know about. Maybe one of the devs more aware of what this option does can shed light on it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
