Re: [documentliberation-discuss] two docx conversion test results on LibreOffice

Hi D,

Well i was able to convince my friend's engineer father to supply two of 
his visio files for sampling. I viewed both of them at my friend's place 
and both opened correctly except for a slight issue with images. There 
were two issues with images, 1) a blue outline was placed around them 
and 2) they were transparent pngs and the transparency wasnt preserved. 
I hope to be able to send you them tomorrow.
