Hi Roopesh,
My testing is mainly on DOCX as that's the original file i start with and then
i convert it to a DOC using the microsoft office compatibility pack, so i can
see what users of pre-office 2007 might be seeing. I then open the DOCX and DOC
in libreoffice and compare its opening with word 2007, 2010, 2013, and kingsoft
writer. I then save each of the files in DOCX, OOXML Text, DOC, ODF 1.1, ODF
1.2, and RTF, and compare the results with ms word and kingsoft writer. I then
convert the original DOCX file in ms word and kingsoft writer to all the
formats that are openable in libreoffice so i can see how well libreoffice can
handle it. And within all this testing, i check libreoffice writer 4.2, 4.1,
4.0 and 3.6 to see if the bug is a regression or not.
Thanks for the info about finding out what produced the file.
Jay

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

Hi Roopesh,
Well as i dont have .docx files of my own, i thought the best
place to get .docx files was from microsoft's website, as they
wouldnt be using any other word processor to create them. :) I
may venture beyond their website if i can find a good source
of .docxs created in word. Is there any means of knowing what
was the software used to create the .docx?
Yes i testing what comes from various word processors into
LibreOffice writer and out. If you see my last message in the
mailing list, i explain my basic routine.

Hi Jay,
The subject of thread caught my eye. I am working on
testing preservation of .docx file format after file is
saved in LibreOffice. You have written,
>>> I am doing extensive docx and doc
conversion tests on libreoffice from files
>>> pulled from microsoft's website...
I am just curious what kind of test files are you
employing to test? If it is restricted to Microsoft's
website then would they have coverage across features &
combinations?
Also whether you care about preservation of docx file
when saved in LibreOffice. I see you have filed one such
defect - https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77478.
If yes, then would like to exchange notes.
