[QUOTE="iHarrison, post: 1249598, member: 195020"] Taken from a (fairly) reliable source:So, as you can see, there's not too much that most users would miss... ActiveX tends to be more trouble than it's worth, if someone sends you an ODF file the simple option is just to have a copy of OpenOffice tucked-away somewhere for converting to DOC, and I dare say most people on this forum wouldn't need to write right-to-left particularly often (& if you did have OpenOffice installed, I'm pretty sure it can handle RtL text, so you could use that as a fall-back). The only thing that [I]might[/I] be an issue would be the no RTF E-mail support, but that could be got-around simply by using your Mac's own Mail App. [/QUOTE]
