Always save and maintain your documents in OpenOffice format and when needed save a MS Office copy for sharing with others. Also save your original OpenOffice files on your local disk, you should not share your original file only the copy. > > I recently had a mac store migrate my files to a new 2017 Mac Air with 1TB > upgrade as my older mac air storage was limited and freezing up on me.
