As the windows version lacks quite some support for document formats
compared to the linux version, it might be a good idea to mention the
windows supported formats separately  on that page. Thank you for your
suggestion, I will update that page when version 2.30 is released.

Thank you for this information, it will be corrected in the 2.30
version by registering the mime type in the windows registry.
