The ideal is that we get the same results as in MS Word. Where there is a conflict between fidelity and correctness (or our own legacy behaviour) then add new compatibility options. We've a few of those already, (tools->options->writer->compatibility) plenty of them are MSWord compatibility options, and MSWord itself has a load of such options, like "layout asian text like word 6" and "line break like wordperfect 2" (well options *like* that if not exactly those ones). In theory we should have every compatibility option that MSWord has plus a bunch more. That's the general idea anyway, gets tricky in practice of course to identify and isolate what's going on to identify if there's a specific compatibility tweak required and its exact required behaviour C. _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
