I am just setting up a computer running windows 7 64 bit. I was hoping to not have to load my old version of MS office at all, but I can't seem to save to a .docx file in Open Office as it is not in the drop down list. Do I have to save an old .doc in another format and then convert to .docx or what?
Apache Open Office hasn't got an export filter to .docx. Why do you need such? If the recipient owns a new MS Office, it can read .odt files. If the recipient has an old MS Office, you should use .doc. For your own purpose you should always use .odt and only convert on demand, if a recipient forces you to use another file format.
The office suites have differences in their capabilities, which prevent, that the .odt and .docx formats are 100% convertible to each other. So there is always a risc in converting.
LibreOffice has got .docx export filters via www.osb-alliance.de. Maybe you install LibreOffice in addition.
Or you install MS Office. If you have got a valid license already, what is the problem?
