I am trying at OpenOffice 3 rc4 right now and asked a friend to send me a .docx file in order to check if it worked.

The file is 15.9kb and only appear a big ink splash. I searched on internet to see if someone could make it work on any linux distro and looks like they haven't.

I suggest to create a special package for read and write .docx, .xlsx and .pptx files since the OO3 fails on that.

And don't start with "IS YOUR FAULT" dance since I download and install the packages and they didn't worked.

If you don't believe me then here is http://rapidshare.com/files/153511617/diagramas_4.docx.html the file, just 15.9kb of epic fail.

Hey,
I know it's a licensing issue or something, but I don't care. I'm a user and I need it to work properly. Either come up with an alternative to myspell if thats not going to work for en_CA, or sort something out with myspell.

Don't mean to sound harsh, just going from a desktop user's perspective. If I tried to get my dad to use Ubuntu and I told him he couldn't have a dictionary because of licensing concerns, he would laugh and ask me to reinstall Windows.
