This is all very interesting posturing. However, AOO 4.1.2 does NOT save documents in .docx format.
Simple, open Apache OpenOffice, start a Writer (Text) document, then click Save As ... . Where do you see any option to use OOXML and .DOCX ? (The "Word XML" formats are not .DOCX. They are for some pre-OOXML single-file XML formats.) Mayela, you can save documents created or opened in OpenOffice Writer as .doc, but not .docx. - Dennis > -----Original Message----- > From: toki [mailto:toki.kant...@gmail.com] > Sent: Monday, January 18, 2016 17:07 > To: dev@openoffice.apache.org > Subject: Re: Question > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > > > On 18/01/2016 22:23, Detlef Nannen wrote: > > > OO can write docx?
