reassigned Yes, this is a problem. In OOo 2, the plugin only supports native OpenOffice formats, not all formats. It will not open MS Word, Excel, or others. I believe in 1.14 it opened all. For those of us who must deal with MS overload, this would be a very valuable addition to the plugin. For OOo 1.1.x we haven't had this feature. Same thing for the ActiveX plugin. This one does display MS Office documents in 1.1.5 (just checked) but not anymore in 2.0 Yes, please add support for all supported document formats. This is annoying, to say the least. If you are worried about the MS plugin interfering (which is impossible with the Mozilla plugin, since MS doesn't have one), you can allow the user to choose which extensions to open, with all set as default. *** Issue 54491 has been confirmed by votes. *** *** Issue 63340 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** |
