This is what I use to suggest on the user forum when users need to exchange mail attachments with MSO users. I got very positive feedback for this: 1) Open the incoming doc/xls attachment. It might be loaded as a read-only copy residing in a temporary directory. 2) Save as ODF in your home directory and work with that. 3) Finally, menu:File>Send>Document as doc/xls This way you keep the incoming doc/xls in your inbox, the outgoing doc/xls in your outbox and an ODF document to work with. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
