Funny, they could not even give one example of something in a legacy
document that cannot be translated to ODF. Nor could they give even one example of something required for MS Office that can not be supported by ODF.

Statements like this show they are grasping at straws: "There are things you might take for granted within Office that simply aren't there."

MIGHT take for granted?????

And, MIGHT you give just one example????
