| 642526 | 2008-02-21 22:13:00 | Hi guys, Does anyone know if an Open Office to Word 2003 (.odt to .doc) converter exists? Must admit I don't know much OO! :o |

| 642527 | 2008-02-21 22:18:00 | nofam, If you use OO to type a document, you then get the option to Save As (rather than just Save). In that situation, you can choose to save the document in various Word formats. I generally use Word 97 format or Word 2000. Now if you have already saved a document in .odt format, simply open it and go to Save As and choose one of the Word formats. It will automatically put a .doc extension on the file. Hope this helps Jim |

Hope this helps Jim Hi Jim, Problem is that the file in question is a CV sent to our HR guys; we don't have OO installed anywhere, so I need to find a standalone converter. You'd think Microsoft would have a plugin for Office??? :confused: |

| 642531 | 2008-02-21 22:30:00 | You don't need to. Click TOOLs on OOs menu. Choose Options. Click General - Load/Save. Change Text to Word 2000/XP Change Calc to Excel 2000/XP Chnage Impress to Powerpoint 2000/XP Now it loads and saves automatically as .doc, .xls, .ppt. No need for converters at all. |

That's fine if you have OOo installed but as nofam said they don't have it installed anywhere so the convertor I linked to is easiest to download rather than the 100MB OOo. |
