Hi,
I use a MacMini, running Lion. I upgraded from Snow Leopard, with which I could
read/write Word2004 documents. Lion won't let me do that. I do not want to
purchase MicrosoftOffice 2011, so i've downloaded LibreOffice3. (3.3.3)
I won't go into detail with other conversion problems. The main one is when a document is listed as a
LibreOpen Document& I try to open it w/ LibreOffice3, I get a window, "ASCII Filter
Options." I click ok,& get a document filled w/ # signs, among others. This seems to be a problem
on other websites involving the "ASCII Filter Options" issue, but none of the topics relate to
Word2004. It's always about Word2003 or Word2007.
What can I do to solve this problem? Or, can I NOT do anything to solve it?
Would appreciate any advice or links you can give me.
David
I would expect Word2003 to be a very similar to Word2004. I believe W04
is the Mac version of W03 and uses the same file extensions. So I would
try a solution suggested for W03 unless it specifically says the problem
is a Windows (OS) problem not an Office problem.
If the file is an *.odt or *.msox you can use a zip utility to open it
and find the xml file with the data in it. This trick does not work
W03/W04 files.
Also, check the default ODF version in LO, it should be 1.2 extended
(Tools>Options>Load/Save>General). You may want to check Micicrosoft
Oficce settings under Load/Save.
