It is based on OOo3.3, but with some additions, including the reading of docx.

Backports shouldn't be needed in order to read docx, so htere must have been something wrong from the beginning, since the OP says that she had to get the version from backports, and then add an extension, in order to read docx.

docx, openoffice, squeeze
Hi, so far, under lenny, I could open all docx-documents I got with the combination of openoffice from backports with odf-converter-integrator (odf-converter-integrator_strawberry_0.2.3-2_i386.deb). Unfortunately this doesn't work any more with squeeze and its version of openoffice: I always get the error message: Read-Error. Data could not be read from the file. Purging odf-converter-integrator didn't help. Reinstalling didn't help ... Any suggestion how to solve this problem? Thanks a lot in advance Andreas Gösele -- Omnis enim res, quae dando non deficit, dum habetur et non datur, nondum habetur, quomodo habenda est.

Purging odf-converter-integrator didn't help. Reinstalling didn't help ... Part of the solution I found myself: I can open docx-documents by directly calling odf-converter-integrator. (This fills the screen with much information, but in the end succeeds.) What doesn't work any more is to open docx-documents directly from my mail-client (gnus) and the command-line or in mc. (I had soffice -no-oosplash -writer '%s' in my mailcap file so far. I had to change that to soffice -nologo -writer '%s', but I guess that's not causing the problem with docx-files.)
