Well, I hate to break it to you, but your aim isn't even close to hitting the
target. Don't even get me started on the picture support.

If the __only__ way your developers can debug anything is starting with an ODT
then the architecture of OO is completely wrong. It needs to follow the
architecture of Gimp. Only support a single native file format and make the
user export to others so the user knows it is a crap shoot.

Look back through this thread. I "trusted" what you said to be true. That's
what your current architecture implies. The output wasn't even within hand
grenade distance of being correct. When I provided the .docx I was asked for
the original ODT. There was no original ODT. The architecture of the
application did not force that and there was not massive warning dialog saying
I need to also save in ODT if I want to have any hope of someone fixing the
inevitable issues.

I ended up having to boot a laptop with Windows 10 on it and use MS Word to
create a new resume because OO simply couldn't do it.
