Re: Why not use the OpenOffice MSOffice filters?

I'm sure everyone would love to do this, but the OOo MSOffice filters are _very_ linked to OOo specific code, and not only that, it's a plain mess to work with (not that it isn't a wonderful piece of technology, but after years of work, and I can imagine only a few people working on it, it's gotten really obfuscated) :)

I am not sure what this forum is for (KDE?) but I do care about openoffice filters.
Just for your information, there is a little application using openoffice macros to convert files and fired with a command line through openoffice. If you want to check this try at http://oooconv.free.fr/ . It is quite fast (the time for openoffice to open then convert, save and close), but it would be faster if someone can extract the filters code. I do not know if the related Ooo filters code is bound to Ooo specific code and I do not really want to jump into openoffice source code to verify this. Anon, Have you got any links which explain this very precisely or did you verify it yourself? Thanks for replying.

Can you compare OpenOffice with MSOffice ?
