My understanding is that Calligra can read MS Office documents but not write to them. On the other hand a few years ago I was at PSU and needed to open an .odt document that I had on a thumb drive. Unfortunately, PSU stopped putting OO/LO on their computers some time ago, so I assumed that I was stuck. Someone in the room said 'just double-click on the .odt file.' I did so at it opened flawlessly in Word. My point is that instead of sending a Windows / MS Office user a .doc or .docx file, just send them the native .odt file with a note that it can be opened in Word. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
