While OpenOffice used the Open Document format, it can save in MS formats, such as .doc for text, .xls for spreadsheet and .ppt for presentations. You can manually select these formats, when you use "Save as". If you wish to work only with MS formats, you can change the settings to use them by default. To do this, click on Tools > Options > Load/Save > General. You'll find a "Default file format" box, where you can set the default file types. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
