When you saved your OF documents, make sure you saved them as a
"DOC" format

Subject: [users] I have a question about saving as a word document
I have been trying to save documents as Word files or rtf files and
cannot
do so. I keep getting a message that the file cannot be save in the
particular format. I am in an online college and they need the
attachments
to be in Word. How can I do this, if it is possible?
Thank you for your help,
Anita Gilbreth
It's weird but each time i tried to send a document made with
openoffice and saved as blablabla.doc, the receiver couldn't open it
with microsoft word...
Even if it was from Mac to Mac... no Pc in between.
What do i do wrong then ?
Thanks for your suggestions.
Hi, Seb. It isn't enough to use the .doc extension.
When you "Save As", you must select the correct file type.
Instead of adding the .doc extension yourself, select the box that
reads something like "use automatic file extension". That way,
you'll know you've done right if the document is saved with that
extension.
HTH. (I just came in to shut my system down.)
That's what i did acutaly...
I saved it as "microsoft word 97/200/XP" with automatic extension
checked.
When the guy tried to open it with Word... it didn't work.
And even if i tried to re-open this file with openoffice again... i
simply couldn't and openoffice complained and said something like...
"this is not a real microsoft word 97 document..."
Any explaination ?
What was the filetype of the document before you saved it as a Word
document?
If it was an odt document, there is something wrong with your software
or with your "user" folder.
Has the software performed satisfactorily previously? If this is a new
installation, you could check the integrity of your download using the
md5sum: http://download.openoffice.org/2.0.3/md5sums.html
If the md5sum is correct, you could try reinstalling, using the "repair"
option.
If this is a new problem on a good installation, the most likely culprit
is the "user" folder. Exit OpenOffice completely (and close the Quick
Starter if you're using Windows), then rename your "user" folder to
something like openoffice.org.old. When you restart OpenOffice, it will
create a new "user" folder with the default settings.
If the installation is good and replacing the "user" folder does not fix
the problem, you may have discovered a bug.
