Linda, your wording seem to be giving me crossed wires a little. Word does not create presentations, PowerPoint does. Openoffice.org does open PowerPoint presentations, but some formats like Publisher it will not open (neither will Word I believe). Ideally you should tell us the format of the saved file you have. That is it's three or four letter suffix after the file name. You may need to right click the file and select Properties from the context sensitive menu to read this information. A Word document will be either thefile.doc or thefile.docx probably. A PowerPoint presentation will likely be thefile.ppt, thefile.pptx, thefile.pps or thefile.ppsx. For more file formats and extensions see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Microsoft_Office_programs Extensions types supported can be found under the individual programs. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

Thanks again for your help. Linda I think we'll probably need more information before we can help much. What version of Word are you using? When you saved the file, did you specify a filetype, and if so, what was it? What is the file extension? What version of OOo are you using? Did you try to open the file by double-clicking it, or did you open OOo Writer and use File Open? Generally speaking, OOo can open all of the Word document formats, even those more than ten years old, so the problem you are having is unusual. BTW, please reply only to this list (users@openoffice.org) so that all the volunteers on the list have a chance to help. We're just other users, like you, and mostly have nothing to do with developing the programs. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
