Since Microsoft Office is so crappy when it comes to support of different file formats, even international standard ones, one way could be to tell the receiver of the file to install OpenOffice.org on their system. It's free and it won't do any harm to the system and it doesn't interfere with other office suites either. However it could make the receiver a bit bitter that he/she actually paid for something that he/she didn't need, if he/she only was informed about the alternatives in the first place... 2.If a file composed under OPEN OFFICE has to be trensformed into a PDF > > file, what kind of software/version is to be used ? > > > As someone already said, just export the file to PDF using OpenOffice.org. > Other ways are possible, but why bother? > > J.R. > > Reply will be appreciated. > > > > From: Tin > > >
