I trust this is being sent to an appropriate address and that I will get a real reply, not reference to a blog or similar [never useful for me personally].
Having installed OpenOffice 4.1 on several computers which already had a version of MSWORD installed, I find 1] Microsoft Word is no longer usable on each of those computers, in fact seems to have been uninstalled. 2] A document opened and edited in OpenOffice, then transferred to another computer on which is installed MSWORD, can not be opened in MSWORD. 3] These observations apply whether the version of MSWORD concerned is of 2010 or earlier vintage. This interferes with the way in which I wish to conduct my affairs. I wish to have access to both word-processing programmes on the same computers and to convert documents from one to the other at will. How can I do those things? Tom Boyde
