Hi :) This is getting really tiresome. The argument that no-one should change until the entire world changes is more likely to dissuade anyone from trying LO. The rest of the project is working hard at getting LO out there as a higher priority and then the format switch will happen when people find the ODF formats are better.

[libreoffice-users] saving as docx crashes libreoffice 3.5.1 on windows 7
HI, I was having problem with a docx document that work sent me (actually, this isn't the first time, but it'd be nice to sort it if poss.). When I try to save it, it crashes LO, I can recover it, I can save it as an odt but at some point I'm going to have to send it back, so I need to be able to save it as a docx. I though it might be something off with the document itself, so I opened up a blank document and tried to save that as a docx file - well this time I got Libreoffice 3.5 has stopped working So, not great.

@darwinev0lved Based on this email response maybe LibreOffice should remove this from their website: Compatible with all major competitors' file formats. You can easily import files from Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint and many other formats, and can easily save to Microsoft Office and other formats when needed. This person is only asking to do what the website says it can. Either it can or it can't.

You can try saving it as a 2003 xml and office 2007/2010 should be able to open that. I know in a previous version of Libre this worked for me.

Re: [libreoffice-users] saving as docx crashes libreoffice 3.5.1 on windows 7
Hi :) MS Office 2007 2010 claims to be able to use OpenDocument Formats such as Odt and Ods but it only handles the ancient 1.1 version, not the 1.2 taht most other programs have been using for years (although it was only formally released in about last Aug or something). Similarly LO supports doc and xls which are standard formats handled by all versions of MS Office. For the most part it also handles docX and xlsX and so on except for occasional problems when MS Office doesn't implement it's own specification for those formats.

Have you tried any of the others. Softmaker (free trial version), office web.
