I opened a bugzilla at opensuse which in turn was referenced by a bug at freedesktop (product: libreoffice).<br><br><a href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31036">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31036</a><br>
<br>The bug is because the latest version of OOo can't import a graphic from a *.docx file.<br><br>I've seen all the statements about how compatible OOo is to Word, but I just don't see it yet when something this basic is missing.<br>
<br>I also happened to edit a affidavit today that I was preparing with oowriter. It started with a case style (a semi-complex table used in legal docs to layout some text only info at the start of the doc.). I made minimal edits to the normal text portion of the doc and then saved it. When a coworker opened it in Word, the case style was destroyed and had to deleted and brought in from another word doc.<br>
<br>To date, my efforts to incorporate OOo into a corp. environment where others are using Word and saving docs in the proprietary Word format(s) are just not succeeding.<br><br>I'm basically confused by the claims of success I see here vs. my real world failures.<br>

</div>I get DOC and XLS documents from people who use Word and Excel all the<br>
time.<br>
<br>
I have yet to receive a document that required more than a minute or two<br>
of touch-up before being ęsthetic, and all of them were functional.<br>
