What about files with OpenOffice?
|
Dear All,
I know the rules say that only .doc files can be uploaded, but... what about those created with OpenOffice? They are .odt. The thing is that I have a nice colourful ws in .odt. I save it as .doc and when I open it with Word, all the colours are gone
I cannot use Word because it was a trial version and can �t be used anymore, only for printing.
Has somebody ever had the same problem?
Thanks a lot. MsPoppins

I tried to do that too but the layout always goes to pieces. It would be nice to be able to save the stuff in odt also - then each and every teacher can decidce whether they thinks it �s worth to download in this open format.
Word is really expensive when you have to buy it and openoffice is really doing a great job without charging money - although I give them money too because I believe in opensource.
Thanks for reading my ramblings.
