hello. openoffice now supports import and exportt of files to odt and doc and some other format like html, txt, rtf etc. but if you need exporting as docx, i recommend you to install libreoffice. it even supports as docx format!
libreoffice is one fork of openoffice and most of there features are the same. but libreoffice has more options in compare to openoffice. because libreoffice' license is mozilla public license if i am correct. http://www.libreoffice.org On 2/25/17, ninja_gl...@lycos.com <ninja_gl...@lycos.com> wrote: > CC'ing the OP. > > Would also like to add that as long as MS Office continues to support > the original file formats (.doc, .xls, and .ppt), there is no legitimate > need for OpenOffice to save in the newer file formats (.docx, .xlsx, and > .pptx). > > It has been stated previously on this thread that developer resources > are already scarce.
