Re: Hi, I'm wondering about ODF in comparison to DOCX
Microsoft’s exclusivity is good reason for everybody to get rid of MS Office and use a productivity suite like OpenOffice or LibreOffice that has file types that are widely accessible - MS Office is no better than OO and LO, perhaps it has more features theoretically but I never found anything I wasn’t able to do in OO or LO, and it is definitely not worth the subscription pricing, I had it for several years because our school system requires students to use MS Office, it is possible to use OO or LO instead of MS Office but is a bit inconvenient, so because the children had an education licence that we didn’t have to pay for we used MS Office, but I was glad to be rid of it when there were no more students in the house, it is slow to boot, a huge pain when a file automatically opens in MS Office because you forgot to tell it to use OO or LO, and it is inconvenient to use c.f. OO and LO, perhaps just a matter of familiarity but I think MS Office really is more clunky than OO and LO, so when the children finished High School I uninstalled MS Office even before the Ed. licence ended. However, I’ve almost entirely moved on from word processors, I only use OO or LO for spreadsheets and use Scrivener for almost all of my writing. But I hardly do any business writing these days, you would need a WP for that. PCS. > On 17 Feb 2023, at 3:58 am, W. Robert J.

Re: Hi, I'm wondering about ODF in comparison to DOCX
Nikhil - Microsoft have done their best to make it impossible for others to create .docx files. Apache OpenOffice can save files in the older .doc format. LibreOffice (www.libreoffice.org) can save files in the .docx format, but the process isn't perfect. It usually works fine for simple documents. If you save your files as .odt or .doc, users of MS Word will be able to open them. - Robert From: Nikhil Kartha Sent: February 16, 2023 08:53 The reason I installed OpenOffice is because my dad recommended it when I was facing an issue with the copy of MS Office that we had. It is quite an annoyance however that the DOCX files when opened with OpenWriter have to be converted to ODF inorder to be saved. We typically use Windows and MS Office is just shipped with it usually. I want to guess that this is also an online compatible filetype as GMail and Whatsapp are able to open it.

Hi, I'm wondering about ODF in comparison to DOCX
The reason I installed OpenOffice is because my dad recommended it when I was facing an issue with the copy of MS Office that we had. It is quite an annoyance however that the DOCX files when opened with OpenWriter have to be converted to ODF inorder to be saved. We typically use Windows and MS Office is just shipped with it usually. I want to guess that this is also an online compatible filetype as GMail and Whatsapp are able to open it. However, I have not had the chance to test ODF and would like to know why the software forces this conversion and ontop of that states there will be loss of something when saving in this format.

On the development list, we discuss modern MS Office Formats from time to time. And we have multiple Ideas on how we could improve the issue. But currently the Discussions are maybe more a bundle of Ideas then a real plan. I believe this topic will get more attention after we have finally managed to release 4.2.0.

hello. openoffice now supports import and exportt of files to odt and doc and some other format like html, txt, rtf etc. but if you need exporting as docx, i recommend you to install libreoffice. it even supports as docx format! libreoffice is one fork of openoffice and most of there features are the same. but libreoffice has more options in compare to openoffice. because libreoffice' license is mozilla public license if i am correct. http://www.libreoffice.org On 2/25/17, ninja_gl...@lycos.com wrote: > CC'ing the OP. > > Would also like to add that as long as MS Office continues to support > the original file formats (.doc, .xls, and .ppt), there is no legitimate > need for OpenOffice to save in the newer file formats (.docx, .xlsx, and > .pptx). > > It has been stated previously on this thread that developer resources > are already scarce.

CC'ing the OP. Would also like to add that as long as MS Office continues to support the original file formats (.doc, .xls, and .ppt), there is no legitimate need for OpenOffice to save in the newer file formats (.docx, .xlsx, and .pptx). It has been stated previously on this thread that developer resources are already scarce. Unless Microsoft decides to pull the plug on these older file formats, OpenOffice will continue to export them.

Re: Saving As Docx
Hi Tony. Originally it was for ideological reasons (so as not to appear to endorse Microsoft's format), but I think that is now long passed as a justification. LibreOffice has implemented this capability and I understand it was (and remains) a lot of work, so I'd guess that today the main obstacle is lack of developers capable of major features. If you or anyone you know are able to implement this I'm sure the developers would welcome you with open arms. S.

When you say ".docx" which of the following file formats do you mean: * ECMA-376; * ISO/IEC 29500 Transitional * ISO/IEC 29500 Strict; I thought that there was also an ISO/IEC 29500 Provisional, but right now, I can't find any details about it. Or do you mean ".docx" as produced by: * Word 2003; * Word 2004; * Word 2006; * Word 2008; * Word 2010; * Word 2011; * Word 2013; * Word 2016; * MSO 365; That is 13 different file formats, each with their own mutually exclusive idiosyncrasies and specifications. Apache OpenOffice could save to ISO 29500 strict, but the price for that would be guaranteed incompatibility with Microsoft Office, because MSO does not support ISO 29500 strict. jonathon - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

Well, I think that it clearly tells how this discussion has evolved. No need to further feed the troll. docx and OOXML is a recurrent hot topic. I think that it has been clearly demonstrated that AOO can open docx, period. If some want to think otherwise and express that, they should just remember that such falsehoods are stored in the mailing list and they will reflect for a long time how wrong their contributions in the list can be.

Re: a question about openoffice and docx format.

Is it possible to open .docx files with the version 4 of Open Office? I have been using version 3 successfully for many years for all other correspondence and have no wish to buy Microsoft in order to open the very few .docx files which some correspondents send me.

RE: a question about docx files.
Sony, Thank you for your comments. Yes, this is a desirable feature. I don't think there is any longer any serious question about that. The reality is that Apache OpenOffice, a volunteer-developed software product, does not have the means to provide the feature at this time and cannot plan on it.

You can use LibreOffice to save .DOCX. However, whenever possible, you should use plain .DOC, due to incompatibilities even within Microsoft Office.

RE: a question about docx files.
Nasrin Khaksar, Thank you for your request. Apache OpenOffice does not produce docx files. There is no effort to provide docx output at this time. There are free products that do feature interoperable support for docx and the other OOXML formats (xslx, pptx, etc.). Users who make us of such products can give suggestions based on their experience. I do not use any of those for working in docx so I have no informed recommendations.

For your own purpose you should always use .odt and only convert on demand, if a recipient forces you to use another file format.

LibreOffice has got .docx export filters via www.osb-alliance.de. Maybe you install LibreOffice in addition. Or you install MS Office. If you have got a valid license already, what is the problem? Kind regards Regina As a side note, I do have LibreOffice (LO) installed, which means that I am able to save in the DOCX format, but, I still opt for DOC if permissible because DOC is better supported than DOCX. I am not saying that I have had problems exporting as DOCX when I have done it, just that I rarely need DOCX format. If you have a hard requirement for producing DOCX formats, install LO. If you are able to use DOC formats, you have that with AOO (Apache OpenOffice). If you have very special case formatting in your documents, it is possible that you must use exactly the same version of MS Word as your target audience uses since there are often discrepancies in corner cases such as certain positioning of floating images and frames. In this case you are always best served to verify that the target application is used to open and test the document for proper rendering. Many years ago I had issues in this regard, so I simply changed how I chose to format the document and I used methods that translated well into the target format. That was long enough ago that it may be like recommending that you bring an extra 5 tires with you for your trip to Florida because the rubber is bad and you will likely have a bunch of flats. The roads and the rubber are better than 100 years ago and that advice is no longer required.

RE: problem with .docx
Martin, Apache OpenOffice does not export to OOXML formats (including Microsoft Office .docx, .xlsx, and .pptx forms of OOXML). There is only provision for saving to the older formats (.doc, .xls, .ppt). Current versions of LibreOffice do support export as well as import And that might work for your needs to interchange using the OOXML- based Office formats. Either way, I recommend running side-by-side with Microsoft Office until you are satisfied that there is adequate fidelity and feature preservation when you need to employ Microsoft Office formats. -- replying to -- From: martin [mailto:i...@aromamedical.org] Sent: Sunday, February 1, 2015 06:06 To: users@openoffice.apache.org Subject: problem with .docx I am just setting up a computer running windows 7 64 bit.

The original file may have been created on a Mac system, for what that is worth. If I export a document from Pages 5 as a .docx file, AOO will crash trying to open it. -- _ Larry I.

Problem with a docx file
When I try to open the attached file using AOO 4.0.1 on my Windows XP-SP3 system I get the following from AOO: Open Office Document Recovery Due to an unexpected error, OpenOffice crashed. All the files you were working on will now be saved. The next time OpenOffice is launched, your files will be recovered automatically. The following files will be recovered: (blank - no files are listed) When I click on "OK" AOO opens again but takes no action regarding the file in question. A ".~lock" file is left in my Temp directory. When I upload the .docx file to the free file conversion site, http://www.zamzar.com/, and have it convert the file to .doc, AOO has no problem opening the resulting doc file. The original file may have been created on a Mac system, for what that is worth.

Re: doc/docx/ppt/pptx to pdf problem (OpenOffice.org 3.4.1 on Debian 6 Squeeze)
Your question was related to converting doc/docx/ppt/pptx files to pdf files using OpenOffice? Inserting a row is a different issue. Where do you want to insert the row, in OpenOffice or in PDF? Be more specific. On 26/07/2013 3:24 PM, chse...@yahoo.com wrote: No matter what I do the program will not insert a row and I need that to work. How can we fix it?

I tried to convert the doc/docx/ppt/pptx files to pdf files on Debian 6 Squeeze with OpenOffice SDK and JODConveter,but I found that some of the diagrams and formulas cannot be converted. I tried to find the answer on the Internet. Some people said that the perfect conversion is impossible, because the Office documents are not fully compatible with OpenOffice documents Is there any solutions? Thank you very much.
