Re: [libreoffice-users] saving as docx turned very paragraph into a page break

Try saving as doc not docx. The older format is still read by MSO and is  
often less problematic.


What is your OS?

Suggestions?

Hi :)
Try Doc instead of DocX.  

File - Save As ... - File Types - Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP/2003

Many companies are unaware of what format they receive as long as it opens.  MS 
Office 2013 and Office 365 now open Odt, the right Odt.  MS Office 2007 and 
2010 opened the ancient version of Odt but 2013 and 365 open the one that 
everyone else is using.  So Odt kinda works even on those.  

So, it's rapidly getting better for Odt but we are still probably not quite 
fully there yet.  Quite a lot of companies are still on MS Office 2003 and just 
about to leap-frog onto 2010 or 2013.  

Still the best format right now for sharing  is probably still the old Doc.  
For storing documents i think Odt is probably better now.  
Regards from 
Tom :)

A 3 page resume turned into 28 pages when saving as DOCX, because almost
every paragraph got turned into a page break.  I've seen some posts
concerning hard page breaks that can't be fully deleted (they show up if you
save/load a docx format), but in my case I had only 3-4 page breaks to start
with.  How did I end up with 28?  I really want to save as DOCX for
