I am running Mint 15 KDE and have installed AOOo, however, though the convert option offers to convert the following old Staroffice files; - SGF, SGV SVG & SVM files. However, it does not offer or seem capable of reading SDW files of which I have a significant number, that I need to access, Is it possible to use AOOo to access these files?
The release notes for AOO version 4.0 at http://www.openoffice.org/development/releases/4.0.0.html say:
We no longer read or write the legacy StarOffice file formats (files with extensions .sdw, .sdc, .sdd, etc.). Removal of this code makes the OpenOffice codebase easier to maintain. The legacy formats have never been the default format in any version of OpenOffice. Users with legacy StarOffice documents are advised to re-save them into ODF format (.odt, *.ods, *.odp, etc.) *before upgrading* to Apache OpenOffice 4.0. This can be done using File - Wizards - Document Converter in OpenOffice 3.x OpenOffice 1.x files (*.sxw, *.sxc, *.sxi) are still supported.
You could temporarily install version 3.4.1 in order to carry out the conversions. See http://www.openoffice.org/download/other-341.html .
I trust this helps. Brian Barker --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
