Ah so! I would recommend then that the apps still export in MSO format. Then problem becomes one of lauching OOo. For example, replacing, say the excel commandline, with something like %PATHTOOOo%\soffice -calc <name of file>. Likewise for word. This will save time in migration so that the app(s) can be adapted to input and output OOo files. By later I mean OOo2.0 which will use the OpenDocument file formats which are well documented. Where there is no source for the apps then I think that the user is stuck. > > On Sun, 13 Feb 2005 21:21:20 +0100, Cor Nouws <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > Peter Kupfer wrote: > > > Milen Pankov wrote: > > >> I am planning migration from microsoft office to openoffice.org and > > >> want to ask a question. > > >> My company work with 2 programs that export data to office - one using > > >> word and one excel. > > >> Even after checking the fuctions 'excel to openoffice.org calc' and > > >> 'winword to openoffice.org writer' none of them can export data to > > >> openoffice.
