809499 2009-09-12 22:40:00 Is there any conversion package out there that I can load (Windows XP) to convert incoming Open Office documents to Word 97? dveitch (6045)
809500 2009-09-12 23:04:00 Open in Open Office & save as Word97/2000/XP (.doc) snoopy (74)
809501 2009-09-12 23:11:00 Open them with Open Office
Then go File>Save as> then change to Microsoft Word 97/2000 etc,
in the save as type drop down list.

edit
whoops that won't work for you, as you're using office 97, I could have sworn the question said you were usingg office XP, must be senile

809504 2009-09-13 10:13:00 Thanks for the responses. Obviously I don't have Open Office so the responses from Snoopy and Karameadave won't work.
And, as Nigel edited into his response, the plugin does not work for Word 97 - it crashes.
So, last try, media-convert does work and will be fine for the rare occasions I need it.
A built-in converter, like the docx to doc one I have, would be nice but not really a necessity.

809505 2009-09-14 06:03:00 Why not switch to OpenOffice? It can open both ODT (obviously) and DOC Agent_24 (57)
809506 2009-09-14 06:46:00 Yes am thinking of ditching Office altogether on my new Win7 machine and going with OO and Tbird for email. Is there a calender function anywhere for free that allows use of tasks and scheduling though like the Outlook one does. Needs to be desktop i.e. not Google calendar gary67 (56)
809507 2009-09-14 06:48:00 Doesn't Windows 7 come with a calendar program? I know Vista does... Agent_24 (57)
809508 2009-09-14 06:52:00 Doesn't Windows 7 come with a calendar program? I know Vista does...
