Aug 17th, 2009, 9:29pm
 
Any one out there use 'Open Office'?

I have been trying to send my 'spread sheet' time sheets and Invoices to my 'new boss'
He says he cant open them his end  (dose he need some kind of patch?)
I'm using Open Office
He's got 'Word office'
I thought they were compatible Undecided

It might depend on what version of MS Office you have & what version of Open Office he has.. i don't know Open Office but have you not got the 'save as' option in the file menu to try different formats?

Open Office has a "save as" function.
If you click on file (top left hand corner),
then scroll down to "save as",
then choose a name for your file,
in the same box should be a drop down menu which gives you the option to save as a Word (couple of different versions), text, open office, template etc, choose the version of Word that applies and it will save it as a .doc or .docx file (depending on which version you selected).
