Re: Major Problem on File Access
From my own experiences and those reported by others I have to suspect that the default file locking is not desirable. It would be very useful if the preferences interface included a way to turn file locking off and on. My own difficulty opening files created on my other computer have made me put AOO aside for the time being.

Re: transferring information
John— You may be able to save the OO document as a Word file, then open it in Pages. If the notation comes from a special font, check to see if it displays normally in OO. Some system fonts do, and some don’t. Glen On Feb 5, 2018, at 3:39 PM, John Sadusky wrote: > I am trying to figure out how to transferring music in open office to pages > on an apple computer.

Re: Question about making Open Office my default
Hi Karen— Here’s what you do: 1. Click on an incon for the file type you want to always open with AOO while simultaneously holding down the Control key. 2. Release the Control key and hover the cursor over ‘Open With’ 3. Hold down the Option key; ‘Open With’ will change to ‘Always Open With’. 4. Select Open Office. You may have to first select ‘Other’ if AOO does not appear as one of the first choices in the resulting list. Regards, Glen - AKA the Mac Help Desk….

Re: Question, story for Computerworld
Paul— I don’t know how meaningful .docx format really is. I use Word for Mac 2008, and occasionally 2011(hate the interface), including OLE with Excel and mail merge. Either format does pretty much the same stuff, so I set the default save to .doc so everyone can open it. Libre Office for Mac, last time I looked, had problems printing business size envelopes. AOO seems to have overcome that hurdle, making it the preferred OpenSource candidate to replace Word at this time. Pax, Glen On Jan 24, 2018, at 11:56 AM, Paul Heltzel wrote: > Thanks Glen.

Re: Question, story for Computerworld
Paul— You might consider downloading and installing AOO for research. 4.1.5 for Mac does not save in .docx. It does save as MS 2003 in .xml.

Re: Change from word to open office
PH— If you have a Mac: Control-click on the file icon Hover the cursor over ‘Open With’ Press Option: ‘Open With’ changes to ‘Always Open With’ Click on an application from the list. ;) Glen On Jan 21, 2018, at 9:01 AM, pat hanford wrote: > I have open office and use it often, almost daily.

Re: Change from word to open office
PH— What OS are you using? On the Mac you can define the application that opens a given class of files, such as .doc suffixes. I think Windows has a similar function, somewhere.
