Dear Open Office Support: I would expect this to be the number one question. How can I compose a business letter in open office and then send and have my recipient read the "formatted" text?
I use both Netscape 4.7 and I use the Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird. I must assume that my "recipient" would use Microsoft's browser and mail client. I have "saved" my document from open office in all the file formats available and either the spacing is exagerated, or doubled, or their are no carriage returns. . . . I can export in Word or PDF which my recipient probably uses---but I cannot be sure if they can read such a letter. Your regular HTML loses the format and comes with strange exaggerations and the XHTML cannot be read by Mozilla. I spent three hours in hopes of finding a "Word to HTML" converter. There was only one and that crashed and had to be removed. But there were a hundred such converters for forty to one-hundred dollars. You can see others have the same problem. The document is mirrored correctly in my "printer setup viewing", but then how to convert a Microsoft *.prn file to HTML? Obviously I can print the Open Office doc and THEN SCAN IT and send a JPEG? Please tell me specifically----"How to send as prepared and formatted in OO, a letter in HTML as accepted by Mozilla which has my standard preformatted spacing---72pts on each side, top--72pts, bottom--80, single spaced, block with double spaces only at paragraphs???"
