[odf-discuss] Word to ODF - feature preservation question

[Chris Puttick]

If only I had the time! It's a big question as during research into
the legacy preservation value of EOOXML I discovered that Word 2007
does not have that capability i.e. if you ahve a legacy document with
versions, Word 2007 cannot preserve them. So if an ODF capable app
can, then we can chalk one up to ODF!
