Since the document uses several cosmetic/fancy features it makes sense for them to save as docx instead of doc. If they were using Office 2010 there is an option to Send as PDF. But they are probably using Office 2007 and that would require installing a PDF printer such as PDFcreator. However sending the documents as PDF only works for documents which the addressee doesn't need to edit... upscope wrote > I would say about 70% of the documents I receive today are .docx.

That is exactly the barrier I was discussing in previous emails... I suggest that instead of sending a plain PDF, you Export as PDF and check the Embed OpenDocument file option. This way it behaves as a PDF for your addressees and you can still edit and modify using LibreOffice. The file is a bit larger but the advantages are obvious :) It also saves you from having to keep two separate files. https://www.dropbox.com/s/7qfv51qpl50ofxk/Newsletter_April_2013_odf_embedded.pdf Since PDF files are probably associated with a PDF reader in your system, you need to open LibreOffice first and then use it to open the PDF ;) Hope this helps ;) -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/End-of-Life-support-for-MSO-2003-countdown-tp4050964p4052026.html Sent from the Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
