Re: What about KOffice?

In fact, the multi-page table was a known problem which David fixed shortly after beta 3...so the good news is that current CVS and the full release should work OK!

As always, if you have specific documents that (a) are causing you problems and (b) are not confidential, then feedback via bugs.kde.org will draw attention to the problem!

Thanks, Shaheed

Very cool. What I can do is replace the text of the document (it's my resume :) with random garbage and post it to bugs if it's still causing problems with the CVS copy. Off to to compile a fresh batch of code.

Thanks

SD

Hmmm... You could write a small "garbling" script and put it in "Help" maybe, alongside bug reporting. The script would change all letters to "a" (or a random one), and all numbers to "0" (or a random one).

Then no-one would have a reason not to give you the document, and you would have no reason not to ask for one. You could even add a "Submit garbled document" checkbox in the bug reporting tool to boot.

If it fails during an attempt to import a word document, then how could one modify what one can't open?

However, for other cases, not related to importing, but, say related to printing, such might not be bad idea.

Do we really want to optimize for bug reporting ?
Will this make KOffice look good ?

I think that a stable, featureful KOffice in a few years would look great! Helping users help developers will only improve the quality of the software.
