I have always used microsoft in the past so all my docs are in this
format. How do I convert existing word and more important excel docs
to open office format please.
There are at least three ways to do it.
(1) Start OpenOffice. Then click on 'Open' and use the file manager to
reach your document. Or use--as common for most applications-- the menu
File > Open. After you have opened it, use File > 'Save as' and save it
do the ODF format.
(2)
You can do a batch conversion. Start OpenOffice, then menu File >
Wizards > Document Converter.
(3)
Right click the file icon in the file manager. From that context menu
use the item "open with".
I have looked in your forums etc and
cannot find any information on how to do this.
What keywords do you have used?
When I click on the excel file it prompts me to purchase microsoft
office which I should not need to do if I have open office
Clicking a file icon is not the only way to open a file.
You might want to look at the instructions of your operating system.
They should tell you how to alter association between the file name
extension and application.
Look forward to hearing from you very shortly.
