If the user is struggling to retrieve a damaged document, the last thing they want is brain-damaged design breaking an "obvious" fix. I regularly saw people bragging about how they used OOo to recover damaged MS-Office documents. It was heart-breaking back then to be forced to use Excel to recover a damaged OOo Calc document :-( Cheers, Wol _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
