Additionally, I teach college English and require students to electronically submit their term papers. I then convert them to PDFs and upload them to the university's Blackboard server where students download them for class workshops. All that to say....<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, the integrity of the .docx files does not always seem to be exact. On at least two student papers, translation into ODF was inaccurate. On one paper the page numbers at the top (an MLA formatting requirement) appeared on the bottom instead; on another paper, the last several paragraphs lost their font style and double-spaced formatting. Viewing the same files on a Windows XP machine running MS Office 2003 with the MS Office pack converter translated them correctly.<BR/><BR/>I have Googled high and low, but no one else seems to report this problem with Novell's odf-converter.<BR/><BR/>If you would like the original .docx student papers for conversion testing, mail me: mrrena -- at -- gmail.slipstickinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03300734490313630686noreply@blogger.com
