Backwards compatibility
Should text files created with OOo (.odt) containing simple recorded macros (to apply certain formats with a keystroke combination) be able to be read by OpenOffice 3.1? I sent some files out, and it was reported that they were corrupted. It’s an IT guy who said it, so I don’t ASSUME he didn't know to open them with OpenOffice; but I can’t be sure.
Anyone tried this feat with success?

I’ll try both the 1.2 and 1.1/1.0 and see which one works -- and report back.
Thanks!

I have no experience with this, but, try the following:
1. Load the document in question
2. Using Tools | Options to open the Options dialog.
3. Under Load / Save, is there a General section that allows you to set
the ODF format version? I can't check on AOO at the moment, but with LO
I am set for 1.2 Extended, which I do not know if it is supported by OOo
3.1.

John,
I'm one of the moderators of this list and I have been unsubscribing a
couple of subscribers like Lynn in recent months. I don't share your POV
regarding the size of the issue, it just happened twice this week but it
doesn't happen every week.
Anyway, one theory that we have already been discussing many years ago
within the old OOo community is that these kinds of users enter a
subscription with a fraudulent provider of OpenOffice that offer them
'support' and managing somehow to get these users subscribed to our
mailing list. I have been trying to confirm this theory with some
persons I had unsubscribed in the past but they were never willing to
discuss so far. So, what should I do?
One thing seems clear, this is certainly no technical issue that can be
easilty investigated in.
Best regards,
Peter

There are only four messages from Lynn. None asking for help with AOO
and It's obvious she didn't request to be on the list, nor anyone else
using her email address. How did she get subscribed to the list???? This
has happened quite a few times and it's supposed to be that In order to
be subscribe one must reply to an email from the list. That doesn't
appear to true in this case or others I've looked in to. Someone should
find out how this happened and make sure it doesn't happen again.
