Re: [LUG] Kids failing on coursework because of proprietary file formats

Well, there you go.
OOXML is a bad, poorly documented formatting language.

And MS has a half-assed approach to implementing ODF too.

Geez, for school, I had to use a friend's laptop to convert ODT to DOC
because ODT is all I had and the school had MSO 2003.

I think most schools use less than version 2010.

Now, we must tell all LEAs and Ofsted, because MS contracts are too
big a problem, and schools need to be using open standards, after all,
the government has said they would!
