Re: Looking forward to it...

I'm a KDE user all-around, but still I need to use OpenOffice if I need
some compatibility with the MS Office, which, sadly, is the ACTUAL standard.

Sorry but this isn't the way to go, peek into OpenOffice, do what you want
but at least .doc (word) and .xls (excel) document compatibility should
be granted (and actually isn't ).....

Feel free to be the umpteenth person who tries to mooch the MS file format code from OpenOffice... Unless you've tried you don't realize just how impossible a task it is.

As for us, we're going for OpenDocument. Even Microsoft will soon be forced to support it.
