Hi openoffice people
I've installed openoffice.org 2.3 (thanks it works fine for me), but when I send the document I've worked on (I'm an editor of books) the people at the other end can't open it. Say it's full of formatting and that's all. I've saved it as a doc, pdf, rtf and still no luck.
When you save it as a doc, for example, are you selecting the actual
file type in the File/Save dialog? In other words, how are you saving?
You should be doing two things:
1. Selecting the desired format in the File/Save dialog's popup menu
and
2. Ensuring that the proper extension is added. (Mac users often don't
realize that the ".doc" or ".pdf" etc extensions are necessary for
Windows to know what application to use)
I especially want the notes to be able to be read - those little yellow boxes
that sit next to a word or phrase I query - and I've got a deadline looming in
a couple of hours.
I am using NeoOffice (an OpenOffice project branch that runs natively on
Macs) and annotated documents saved as MS Word format (".doc") work
fine. The little yellow box becomes a comment indicator (with authors
initials, and sequentially numbered, as per Word's superior handling of
collborative-editing features which I hope OOo achieves some day ....)
Can you help me asap?
I hope something in here did help!
