I successfully created a document in Writer by opening a Word template in writer, writing the document, saving the result as an OO Writer xml document, previewing the document and printing it as a PDF. I'm using OO writer 2.3.1.
The problem arises when I them open the document once again. The template information is gone and the layout of the document is garbaged and it is not garbaged consistently. Three creations of the document resulted in three differently garbaged documents when reopened.
One suspects the Word .dot template has a hand in this. I can't find a reference by searching the forum so any suggestions will be well received.
BTW, is there a known or planned date for compatibility with Office 2007 file structures?
