[Libreoffice-qa] ODF compatibility tests

[Jay Philips]

Hi Sophie,

If you are not already aware, you can create office documents at 
office.com as it is free. I have created a few tests there myself, but 
prefer to use ms word myself. I could definitely supply you with any 
sample files that you need to run the tests, but unfortunately i dont 
think i would have the time to manage test runs myself.
