OH! I forgot to say that I tried saving it as .html and .xml, both failed because the comments were either deleted or displayed amongst the rest of the text as if it had been typed in there.

I also forgot to say that images included in the Word 2010 documents do not show up in Writer.

Lastly, I forgot to say that if I save it in .odt, then open it in Word 2010, it opens, but not without warnings and some changes to the document.

Thank you!!

Those are also issues!

Hi

For weeks I have been looking for an answer this problem. I have tried the documentation and the forums. I have searched the internet. The problems started when I upgraded from 3.x to 4.0 and beyond.

I have always been able to go from Word 2010 to Oo and back again. My friend did her work on Word, emailed it to me, I made comments in Oo, saved it in Word format, then sent it back to her in Word format. It was fine. It worked great.

However, after updating to 4.0 that all went away. So, I thought something must be a bit buggy and updated to the latest version last week. Still the same bad results. I was made aware of this when an eight hour editing job had to be completely redone on another computer that had Word 2010 on it. The client called and said the comment boxes were not usable. Sure enough, I opened the file in Word 2010 and it was a horrible mess.

The trouble is that comments made in OpenOffice get trashed when the document is opened by Word 2010. They show a space between each letter. There is a blank line between each line of text that can not be deleted. And, the words that were once in one comment box are now spread through multiple boxes, pushing the text from box to box until at the last box all over spill text is deleted.

Maybe I am not saving it in the right file type? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much.

Cindy
