I am concerned that the wording of the warning box you get when you try to save a file in a format other than OpenDocument could use some improvement. Right now it says something to the effect of http://www.localsing.com/assets/images/guides/csv/ooo-warning.jpg. Its informative, though the wording is a bit messy, and it provides a plug for OpenDocument. While promoting that format is a good idea, usually if you are doing Save as, you are intending to convert it to a different format to begin with. What I propose is that we change it to just something more like this, more of a generic case: "This document may contain formatting or other features that cannot be maintained if saved in the (FORMAT) format. Do you still want to save it in this format? [Save anyway] [Cancel] That sums up a more common use case in a cleaner manner. My dad was a little confused when he saw this, since he was intending to do such a conversion anyway.

This is no longer valid, the dialog was redesigned in 3.5 and is now using wording that's no longer confusing.
