The .docx option did not appear available in a recently installed version of

Thanks Glen. I have installed AOO on a PC, just looking to confirm that saving 
as .docx is a feature of LibreOffice but not of OpenOffice. That's what I'm 
seeing, along with what I mentioned, that AOO can save, for example, Word or 
Excel files as .xml (but I'm not sure why you might want to, what the Office 
2003/xml version means).

I'm hoping to reach one of the AOO developers.

Re: Question, story for Computerworld

2018-01-24 Thread Glen Kohler 
Paul—

I don’t know how meaningful .docx format really is. I use Word for Mac 2008, 
and occasionally 2011(hate the interface), including OLE with Excel and mail 
merge. Either format does pretty much the same stuff, so I set the default save 
to .doc so everyone can open it.

Libre Office for Mac, last time I looked, had problems printing business size 
envelopes. AOO seems to have overcome that hurdle, making it the preferred 
OpenSource candidate to replace Word at this time.

Pax,

Glen

You might consider downloading and installing AOO for research.

4.1.5 for Mac does not save in .docx. It does save as MS 2003 in .xml.
