Opening OpenOffice documents with MS Word.

HI

Can some one help me please.

Im trying to open up an Open Office Word Document with MS Word. The problem is when I open up the document with MS Word it is in some silly code language.

Any one know how I can get it back to normal?

Thanks

Download the plugin for word here. It will allow you to import/export OpenDocument Format into word.

Could you also open it in OpenOffice, then save as a Word document?

Only if you have Open Office installed.

Currently, everyone in the office has to email me if external contacts send them OpenDocument docs.

I do the conversion and tell them to tell their contacts to save as .doc instead of .odt :rolleyes:

why not install Open office on there machines or use Portable Open office?

If it's a PC at work, the SysAdmins probably don't want the users fiddling around with such things.

I wouldn't.
