Larry,

Right click (control click) on file, choose Open With, navigate to Writer and 
Open. If you want this to happen to all “Word” files then check the box for all 
similar files.

You clicked on the attachment in what? Your web browser (which one?), your
email client (which one?) or what?

have you tried to just save the attachment and then open it from where you
saved it?

How to do it???

[Larry Tanzer]

Good Morning,
I recently installed your Open Office 4.1.7   So far, it has worked well.
Today, I ran into a snag.  I received an e-mail with a word document attached.  
When I click on the attachment, it opens up, but a moment later another screen 
opens up on top of it, asking me to subscribe to Office 365.  If I close that 
screen, it also closes the attachment.
How do I get to open the attachment in Open Office?  I probably have the same 
issue if the attachment is an excel spreadsheet.  I am using Windows 10.
Thank you,
Larry Tanzer

You are supposed to first import the pdf file, and then save it
as whatever type of document you wish.

However, if the PDF file is only and image, it cannot be coverted to
editable text. For that you need to use OCR programs like Abbyy or Readiris,
which you can obtain from ebay or amazonetc.

If you simply require to read the PDF document, you should open it in your 
operating system's PDF reader; frequently this is Adobe Reader, usually 
installed by default on Windows.


It is the intention that PDF documents should be unchangeable.  If you wish to 
edit the document you have basically two choices.  It may be possible to select 
the text in the PDF and Copy it, pasting it into OpenOffice Writer, in which 
you can then edit the text.  However this ability to copy directly from a PDF 
file does not always work. The other possibility is to pass the PDF document 
through an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) application, which reads the PDF 
and turns it into editable text, which you can then edit in OpenOffice Writer.

www.zamzar.com offer a free online service which (inter alia) will convert a 
PDF document to an OpenOffice ODT document, ready to edit.
