TO whom it may concern: It was my understanding that Open Office was a sort of
stand in to Windows Word, in that I would be able to utilize Open Office
spreadsheets similar to Excel and, in fact prior Excel files would be somewhat
the same format that Open Office uses. Open Office spreadsheets would be
interchangeable with Excel documents. Also Word and Open Office documents would
also be interchangeable.
I have spent a good amount of time trying to find out how this system works, and I
have yet to even seen a document or spreadsheet or any other indications that Open
Office is essentially totally compatible with Windows Word& Excel. I thought I
would be able to get right down and create my own spreadsheet or letter or other
document. Instead what I have seen so far is nothing but text explaining various
projects that users are engaged in. Are there two different Open Office Programs or
am I missing something.
All I want is to be able to write letters and documents and use spreadsheets
that are similar to and are the same as my Excel files.
Please explain
When you create a document, you have the option of saving in Microsoft
Office formats. When you use "Save as", select the desired format from
the drop down list. Also, ensure automatic file name extension is
selected. You should also be able to open MS Office files in
OpenOffice.org too. Have you tried that?
