Bug Description

The dialog that warns me before saving an openoffice.org file in *.doc format (for example) is very usefull and I don't want to deactivate it. However it would improve usability a lot, if the two Buttons would read "Save as .doc anyway" and "Keep OpenOffice format" or something like this instead "Yes" or "No".

The "Yes" or "no" buttons make me read the whole dialog every time, although I see the dialog often and appreciate it as a reminder that I am saving in .doc format.

Well you can select the box at the bottom telling it not to show that dialog again.

I think the bug reporter has pretty clearly stated that he doesn't want to check the "don't show this again" button, but that he does want the reminder to continue to be shown.
The problem isn't the dialog appearing, it's that it's not intuitive which button to click when it does come up.
