I strongly recommend you don't do this; save your files in native ODF 
(Open Document Format) and if needed to send to others, complete the 
document and Save As to a foreign format.

Re: Apache for Windows 10

[Carlo Strata (tiscali.it)]

Hi everyone,

I should only want to remember here that LibreOffice (in addition to 
what OpenOffice do):


a1) reads and writes odt, ods, odp, ... (also known as Open Document Format)

a2) reads and writes (!) docx, xlsx, pptx, ... (also known as OOXML or 
Office Open XML)


a3) reads and write old legacy (and closed) doc, xls, ppt, ... (also 
known as Microsoft legacy file format)


b) execute mass file conversion from the menu File --> Wizards --> 
Document converter... that you can use in many cases.


I suggest you to use version:

a) 7.1.1.2 already quite solid, rich and powerful Windows, MacOS, Linux 
builds (both 32 and 64 native builds)


b) or 7.0.5.2 rock solid (released within a few days), less rich and 
less powerful Windows, MacOS, Linux builds (both 32 and 64 native builds)


Do you have any doubt yet? ;-)

Have all a nice evening,

Carlo

sorry one more quick question please?
with using the newest version of Apache open office 4.1.9 I got rid of the
recovery file problem, but now how do I convert all my files that have been
saved as the old 4.0.1 version to 4.1.9 and for my clients to able to open
them if I send them as the extension .odt ? Also have tons of files now in
.doc and can't open those as I don't have Microsoft word.

All the old files should convert automatically when opened. To open .doc files, you need 
to set your computer's File Associations to tell it to use OpenOffice to open these 
files.  Right click on a .doc file, and from the popup choose OpenOffice (or 
swriter.exe); then select the "always open with this application" link on that 
window.  If your clients are using MS Windows, you should send the files as .PDF (/File 
/Export as PDF) if they don't need to edit them, or as .doc if they do.  MS Office can 
open .odt files, but most MS Office users are not aware of that and will give you hassle 
because they have to think and perhaps change a computer setting.

I want to know why every time I open Open office 4.1.9 it states

recovery

file

Gina, RMT, Yoga Instructor

You are enrolled to a public mailing list and receive all messages; if

you

wish to unsubscribe there are instructions at the bottom of each email
which you should follow,

If the recovery message is always about one specific file, press Cancel
and the message will not occur.

If the recovery message is always about the last file you edited, Cancel
will also work, but in that case you need to adjust your method of

working

by specifically closing OpenOffice and then waiting a few seconds (five
should be sufficient) for the internal housekeeping to be written to

disk

before you power off your computer or close your laptop's lid.

In the first case above, the Recover message may arise from over-hsaty
close down or perhaps from a program or compyuer crash.

Hi Conchita,

if you want to use a modern and powerful open source with a native

Windows

64 bit build, you can download LibreOffice instead:

Home | LibreOffice - Free Office Suite - Based on OpenOffice -

Compatible

with Microsoft

Re: Opening a .odf file with Microsoft

[Steven Ahlers]

John,

Unfortunately Windoz likes to change file associations when it updates. To fix 
this Open the Windows File Explorer, the File Folder icon in the Dashboard. 
Then open the folder that you have your file in; ie if it’s on your desktop it 
will be in the folder “Desktop”. Select your file then click the the Triangle 
(down arrow) next to Open and choose Open With. Choose OpenOffice Writer from 
the list, check the box for Open All Files With This Extension With This App 
and then click the button Open.

As a courtesy to you I have sent a copy of this message to you since you may 
not be subscribed to the Users email group. If you’re subscribed you may miss 
some responses.

As a courtesy to me please only reply to: users@openoffice.apache.org not my 
email address, thank you.

John, you should use the Open With option in Explorer, windows (read 
Microsoft) has set the
File Associations to their defaults, which you should be able to change 
back.


Second we should not open your file as it contains your passwords and 
you should not share

these with anyone.

Opening a .odf file with Microsoft

[john soric]

Friends,
I have been happily using Apache for a few years.
Today I had to upgrade to windows 10 and now nothing will open. I downloaded 
Open Office hoping it would be accepted by my new computer.
PROB LEM:  IO have a very important .odt document that I really have to open.  
It’s several pages of passwords and other important info.
Maybe you could open it to me and send it back as a pdf?
