Open Office and Docx

I couldn’t get it to work myself, but Novell created a plugin for OpenOffice which provides support for opening and saving docx files.

OpenOffice is due to fully support it without plugins by version 2.4 I think.

Another option for users of MS Word 2007 to skirt this issue might be to simply this to thier copy of MS Word 2007.

- Open Word 2007.
- Go to WORD OPTIONS (under the MS Office Symbol in the upper left corner).
- Click on SAVE in the left-hand column.
- Select: Save Documents > Save Files in this Format
- “Word 97-2003 Document (*.doc)”

By doing this all MS Word 2007 files will now open and save in *.doc format. SO you can go back and forth b/t Word 2007 and Open Office easily.

Hope this helps.

Users (Mac and P.C.) that do not own Microsoft Office and use other applications (such as Open Office), or users of earlier versions of Microsoft Office that are not covered by Microsoft compatibility pack, but still want covert, open and use Word 2007 DOCX or Excel 2007 XLSX files on their own computer, can do so with “docxconverter 2.0″. See: http://www.panergy-software.com/products/docxconverter/features.html

I’m running the OO 2.1 Novell Edition, Build 1007-06-04, and it reads/writes .docx with no trouble.

The Novell package odfconverter-1.0.0-2.oxt is just a zip file. For Windows users: extract the contents, copy the dlls to system32, use the executable. Less than seamless, but it works.

syntax:
odfconverter.exe /DOCX2ODT /I -iputfile.docx- /O -outputfile.odf-

Write a batch!
Something like
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\docx_auto_file\shell\open\command]
@=”\”C:\\yourpath\\odfconverter.exe\” /DOCX2ODT /I \”%1\” /O output.odf”
works too.

There’s also a Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats on Microsoft’s site, at the following URL:

Thanks that helped us!

open office 3.0 beta opens them fine

OpenOffice 2.4 on Ubuntu Hardy Heron opens the format fine, much to my surprise. On a side note, I’m not sure how you’re detecting the client to give your browser warning, but I can be absolutely certain that I am *not* using Internet Explorer given that my desktop is Linux…

the online docx converter (http://www.docx-converter.com) I found doesn’t just convert to doc. It can straight away convert to openoffice.
