Hi there,

After downloading openofffice I automatically assumed that I would be able
to open word documents, this appears not the case on my download.

Have I.

1. Taken the wrong option during download OR

and if so.

2. What can I do to enable me to open word documents.

Cheers

Neil

Hi Neil

Normally OOo has no problem opening MS Word documents _except_ the docx etc type which are the default for MS Office 2007.

From my reading you have a couple of options, ask the sender to use a compatible format (.doc) or if you are using Windows, install the docx reader available from MS. At least then you will be able to copy/paste from the docx files.
