KNOWN BUGS:

* Problem: The document is not always fully converted at first pass.
Explanation: This is because of the current way of processing text portions to reduce format loss. A new way is currently investigated.
Solution: Run the conversion twice, it's usually enough.

* Problem: Sometime the clipboard content doesn't get converted.
Explanation: We found out that OpenOffice.org doesn't always keep the font information when doing a copy-to-clipboard operation.
Solution: Paste the content in a new document, set the correct font and then run a document convertion.

* Problem: It doesn't work on Windows.
Explanation: We probably used some instruction not compatible with the old Python version 2.3.4 bundled with OpenOffice in Windows.
Solution: There is currently no solution available. We will correct this bug in the next version planed for the end of December.
