[Libreoffice-qa] Extensive docx conversion tests...

[Roopesh Kohad]

 Hi Jay,

I had looked at your earlier mail and figured that you are testing word &
odf documents coming into LibreOffice. I exclusively test DOCX format
coming in & out of LibreOffice, so was interested to know the methodology.

There is a way to know what software created the DOCX. If you unzip the
file and go to docProps/app.xml, there is a tag <Application> & <Version>
which can tell you the application used to create the DOCX. However, what I
have observed is applications don't update this religiously. Its only
Microsoft Office which puts this information. The <Version> correspond to a
specific release of MS Office.
"10.0" => MS Office 2007, "12.0" => MS Office 2010, "14.0" => MS Office
2013.

Hope this helps.

regards,
Roopesh
