Helllooo, out there! We can keep telling folks to redo their bleeding profile. How dumb is that! Fix it so that's never required, fer Kroist sake! Microsoft never insisted we do that.
Of course it's dumb. It's a major problem. But the code has been released so now we have to wait for the next version and hope that it will be fixed.
By the way, Boy & Girls -- if OpenOffice (by whatever flavor) wants to remain compatible with MS Word, et al, then you better take another look at the upward/downward compatibility between OO and other contenders. One absolute MUST is the interface between the other contenders (AOO, MS Office, et al). Else, you've got a gawd-awful and ever-lasting mess on your hands. I despair...
AOO is not a MS Office clone. If you want to work in .doc, then use MS Office. Their file format has never been designed to be compatible with anything else than MS Office. The MS Office file formats have been reverse engineered. If you find another application that does better, then go for it. If you want to use proprietary formats that locks your own data, just do it. But the key point nowadays is to use true open formats like ODF.
