Hi :) Thanks for the feedback there. I didn't get time to try it anyway today so thanks for the report :) Someone tried creating a leaflet in Word today. It's a very clumsy tool for stuff like that. I suggested he could use Publisher or Writer but he stuck with Word. [Sighs deeply] nvm. It's more confirmation to my boss that we need LibreOffice installed :) Regards from Tom :)

WordPad 6.1 (on Windows 7) provides less functionality for ODF documents than does Microsoft Office. It is like an improved Windows Write (remember that?) with the ribbon. It will open and save .docx, .odt, .rtf, and .txt. It doesn't have text flow around images - they just break the text wherever inserted, and there are limiting formatting options, no styles, minimal page setup, bulleted lists, but no auto-numbering, etc. It is a nice way to make simple documents - it comes with the OS. It is not a substitute for Microsoft Office Word (or LibreOffice Text) as a document producer. -----Original Message----- From: Tom Davies [mailto:tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk] Sent: Tuesday, June 21, 2011 06:27 To: users@global.libreoffice.org Cc: ba...@dbginc.com Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Double clicking .ODT file opens it in WordPad! Hi :) How good did it look in WordPad? Was the formatting seem about right? Did you have pictures or text-boxes in the file that were in about the right place in WordPad? I have only ever used WordPad as a slightly inadequate text-editor but the problems i have with it are because it's really a word-processor. If it handle odt well then it might open up opportunities to get odf files into Word with a lot less hassle. At the moment i have to set various options in Tools - Options such as downgrading to the ODF 1.1 format that is used by Word 2010. Even then Word just doesn't have the sophisticated options for placing pictures in interesting ways. If WordPad looks like it's worth exploring then that would be fantastic!

I uninstalled Open Office and installed LibreOffice. Now if I click on a .ODT file it opens in WordPad instead of Writer. How can I easily fix this for all LibreOffice apps on Win7 Pro 64 bit?
