I have tried searching the various sources of information but with
little success.
I am having trouble opening .docx documents that have been emailed to
me. These documents have consisted of a series of text boxes with text
inside them.
OOo3.1, and OOo3.0 before I upgraded, will open the document, but it
loses *all* the formatting. Instead it forces all the text to the top
of the page.
As an example, I have placed the original, and a PDF output of what
OOO3.1 does to it at http://www.davidpatrick.name/openoffice.
Can anyone either tell me, or point me in the right direction for a
solution to this problem?
I just noticed that you are using a Mac so I downloaded your .docx file
and opened it in Pages 08 (part of iWorks). It opened and displayed fine
so you could download the trial version of iWorks 09 and use that to
read .docx files then copy and past them into OO.o
Off Topic: My mother's family came from Eastleigh. Most of the original
settlers in the rural community I grew up in came from Eastleigh. The
community named itself Eastleigh, Saskatchewan.
