replace doc export with docx format #4805

Open neurolabs opened 3 years ago

neurolabs commented 3 years ago

name: Feature request about: Suggest an idea for this project title: '' labels: enhancement assignees:

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. DOC format is old, DOCX format is more widely supported

Describe the solution you'd like Replace the DOC export with DOCX export, both for abiword and libreoffice

Describe alternatives you've considered Current DOC export works, this is not a pressing issue, just an idea.

What do you think about this? Is this a simple change, or is it more complicated?

Oh wow, I thought we did export docx by default =D Yea we absolutely should be exporting docx over .doc...

This might not be something that the core team comes around to, but this could be something where the community could help. Or is implementing this more complicated than it might seem?

Hello, is somebody able to fix this problem? It is still up to date, because in many companies it's not possible to open the old *.doc format (Word XP binary format) based on the Microsoft security baselines.
