IBM Lotus Symphony
|
IBM® Lotus® Symphony™ can generally open Microsoft® Office 97/2000/XP documents. However, some layout features and formatting attributes in more complex Microsoft Office documents are handled differently in the Lotus Symphony or are unsupported. As a result, converted files require some degree of manual reformatting. The amount of reformatting that can be expected is proportional to the complexity of the structure and formatting of the source document. The Lotus Symphony can load Visual Basic Scripts for you to analyze, and also run the scripts.
The following lists provide a general overview of Microsoft Office features that may cause conversion challenges. In general, these should not affect your ability to use or work with a content of the converted document.
