Hello,

the file open dropdown does contain "OpenOffice 1.0 Text Document (.sxw)", but it does not contain "StarWriter 3.0-5.0".
I will test again with the final release.

Consider this, Openoffice1.1.x file formats are identical to StarOffice
file formats while pre-OpenOffice.org Star* files are also in the list.
So are you saying that the File type dropdown is missing the following
on your machine?

OpenOffice 1.0 Text Document (.sxw)
StarWriter 3.0-5.0 (*.sdw)

Hello John,

Thank you for your reply.

yes, i tried file>open in writer, this presents me a long list of file types 
but StarOffice is not there.
When i try to open it with "All Files", then a form is displayed asking me to 
select a filter, but Star Office
is not in the list.

In the meantime i found out that OOo 1.1 has a batch conversion tool, so i 
converted my StarOffice documents
to OOo 1.1 format, and now i can open it with 2.0 and the problem is solved for 
me.


Ragards,
Udo

Udo,

You should be able to open your files with the Novell packaging of OpenOffice.

How are you attempting to open these files, and what is the problem
that stops you from opening these?

Have you tried opening writer and then going through the file->open procedure?

Hello,

i have installed OpenOffice 2.0 Beta via Yast under Suse Linux 9.3 on a Intel 
PC.

Problem: i cannot open my many old StarOffice-Files (.sdw, .sdc) with OO 2.0.
With OO 1.5 Linux or with OO 1.1 Windows i was able to open them.

Why does the new version not support it, or will it be supported in the final 
release?

Thank you for your help!

Udo
