How can I revert all my existing documents > to Word? This is very urgent Thank you Unfortunately, your email contacts are victims of Microsoft's lock-in and keep paying file format trap. From the tone of your email it appears that you wish to return to that masochistic position. So be it, that is your choice. However, before you "leave" OOo (OpenOffice.org), you might be interested to learn that the problem is your lack of knowledge, not the default OpenDocument ISO/IEC 26300:2006 standard file format used by OOo. Had you made the effort to check, you would have discovered that OOo can save documents in many file formats, including MS Word, which your unfortunate email contacts would have been able to open. In answer to what appears to be the point of your question: If you have saved your existing documents in OpenDocument (eg. .odt) format, just open them in OOo, then use the "File -> Save As..." menu option and select the required Microsoft file format from the "File Type" drop-down list. If it is just that your Microsoft file format documents are being automatically opened by OOo, then you only need to change your Windows file associations by following the instructions given here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307859 -- This is a mailing list which exists to support users of OpenOffice.org All answers are given by other users who volunteer their time.
