I'm a relatively new Open Office user, and, so far, I've been able to figure most things out. Now that MS Word has a version 7, and, I suppose, a verson for Vista, I'm a bit stumped. Is there something I need to download in Open Office so that I can open files created in the newer versions of MS Word? Is this also going to happen with the spreadsheet and presentation programs?
Microsoft Office 2007 uses new file formats (.DOCX etc.), which OpenOffice doesn't yet work with. You'll have to save those files in an older format. If you can't arrange that, you can download some free viewers from Microsoft, which will allow you to read those file and cut & paste to OpenOffice. You'll also need the compatibility pack.
