hello.
yes, openoffice can only read docx, but cant save the changes in docx file.
i mean that you can read your docx files, but even if you add or
change one character! you should save it as doc, html, odt etc to give
them to microsoft office users.
libreoffice i am sure is the only opensource
Paul,
AOO can read .docx but not save ( at least my install). I think Libre
Office can do both.
If I get a .docx file that I need to modify I just save as .doc and the
receiver can read the .doc file.
Others more learned can explain the difference between .doc and .docx.

The nearest “Save As” options are: Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP (.doc) or
Microsoft
