OO.o 3x Document compatibility with OO.o 2x

For those who are already running OpenOffice.org 3.x, you might run into issues if you send the documents generated to users running OpenOffice.org 2.x.

The reason is that OpenOffice.org 3.x uses ODF version 1.2 for its documents while 2.x uses ODF.1.1.

To enable a downgrade of ODF generated, open any OpenOffice.org 3 application, Tools --> Options --> Load/Save --> General --> ODF File Format drop-down menu and choose 1.0/1.1 (OpenOffice.org 2.x) and click OK.

What are the compatibility problems?

Among the problems can be from the differences in the internal text of objects, tables and bullets produced in Impress documents.
