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???"
Sincerely,
Eric Westhagen
This doesn't answer your specific question, but I don't understand why
sending it as a pdf file wouldn't work. It seems like essentially every
computer has a pdf reader, like Adobe Acrobat Reader, and if they don't,
it's an easy, free download.
Whenever I'm sending something to people, and I don't know what software
they have, I send it as a pdf, and I've never had a problem.
