I'll send it to my wifes's Win 7 machine, it has office 2003 on it. I personnaly have not used MS software since 1999. Been all Linux. Actually I have XP on a virtual machine under my Linux but I have not been sussesful updating .net on it past version 3.0. 3.5 and later fail on install, no real error stated. I also only have MSoffice 2003. I refuse to pay MS what they want for the capability I need.
Will office 2003 open a .docx, last I heard it would not. I have nothing that will open the .docx unless I reinstall LO3.6.3, I think it opens them better but still has problem. Will doing more experimenting with Tom's and your ideas. thanks Russ -- openSUSE 12.2(Linux 3.4.28-2.20-desktop x86_64)|KDE 4.10.00 "release 546"|Intel core2duo 2.5 MHZ,|8GB DDR3|GeForce 8400GS(NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-304.60) -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
