Hi there,
I try and try to make writer open odf-files by double click on it
but it doesn't work. So I tried to make it through open with. Just
selected writer by going to the openoffice folder and clicking on
writer in the open with menu. But writer doesn't add to the list of
the software list in open with. Don't know why.
Is there any possibility to let it open each time with writer by a
double click on the odf-file?
It sounds like you don't have file name extensions (.ODT) on your
files, so your operating system doesn't know what to do with those
files. Can you start OpenOffice and then click on File > Open? If
so, the files are good. When you use "Save as", ensure automatic
file name extension is selected. You can also rename those files to
add the .ODT extension.
There is some bug in openoffice. In the settings you have selected
automatically to save text files as .odf but openoffice saves it as
.odt. Do I have to understand it? That is very strange.
I solved the problem a couple of minutes ago myself.
No, you've got it a bit wrong. ODF specifies the Open Document Format,
which include ODT for text documents, ODS for spreadsheets etc. You
should never see a file with the ODF extension, as there's no such
thing, at least not with OpenOffice.
How did you solve the problem?
My problem was that I had a rtf-file in which I have connected some
cells in a spreadsheet to one cell. In the next row I let the five
cells. Each time I opened the rtf-file in both rows I had five cells. I
don't know if the rft-type or openoffice itself make such problems.
So I have done a copy of the file and changed the ending to odf because
I saw in openoffice settings that it is the standard format. I didn't
know I should use odt.
Windows wasn't able to change the open with to swriter. If I selected it
it wasn't appearing in the open with program list. I final could change
it somehow in the file types in windows.
Later I just saved it from a .doc file as a copy with .odt.
I was using rtf-type as a standard for me because I thaught it is a wide
spreaded standard. But now with the spreadsheet problem I will avoid
saving my text files as .rtf. :)
Because OpenOffice 3 is almost released I don't want to fill it as abug
and stop the release. :) But there is some problem with rtf and making
from more cells just one cell. I you save the file and open it you have
still more cells instead of one cell.
