Hi. I have files in email I want to save in AOO but when I hit Save As, AOO

The Save As allows you to change the name of the document, but it 
doesn't make sense to
change the extension because a OpenOffice file will always be an 
OpenOffice file and a PDF
will will not change to an OpenOffice file just because you change the 
extension.




I don’t want to re-type all my files. They are mostly PDF. Thanks. Steve.  I 
think my AOO  is 4.1.2 with Windows 10.

Laura,

You probably need to download the latest version. Apache OpenOffice has been 64 
bit for MacOS for awhile. Make sure you read and follow all the release notes 
so that you can successfully negotiate the Gatekeeper. ONLY download from: 
https://www.openoffice.org/download/

microsoft office

2020-01-23 Thread Margaret Shearman
I have been having problems with Microsoft sort of sabotaging my independent 
software and browser preferences.  Just recently I noticed that all my Open 
Office documents were converted to Microsoft Word without my authorization.  Is 
there a default word processing setting in Windows that allows this to happen 
and can I change it.  Or I also save to OneDrive cloudis this why my 
documents are changed?

Hi Margaret,

I'm not familiar with Open Office, or other documents, being converted
without authorization to Microsoft Word format.

So I have a question. To open a document do you find then file and
double-click it with your mouse? If that's what you do and the document
opens in Word then the problem is likely something called a "file
association".

If Word has been recently installed, reinstalled, or the the repair feature
has been applied to the Microsoft Office

Hi Margaret,

I'm not familiar with Open Office, or other documents, being converted
without authorization to Microsoft Word format.

So I have a question. To open a document do you find the file then
double-click it with your mouse and it opens in Word?

If that's what you do and what happens then the problem is likely something
called a "file association".

If Word has been recently installed, reinstalled, or the the repair feature
has been applied to the Microsoft Office installation then the file
associations could have changed. Some Windows updates also change (set to
Microsoft's preferences) file associations.

To change the file association so your Open Office documents open in Write,
Calc, etc...
1. Find one of your files
2. Right-click the file
3. Select the Properties item on the menu (it should be at or near the
bottom)
4. In the dialog box that opens look for the "Opens with:" entry (it should
be near the top)
5. To the right of "Opens with:" there is a button "Change...", click this
button
6. Now you'll get a screen asking how you want to open the file, click the
program you want to use
7. Then click the OK button, the list closes
8. Next click the OK button

You're done. If file associations were the problem, they have just been
changed to open files with the program you want them to open in.
