Subject: Issue with OpenOffice downloading
Good evening,
I have an issue with -not sure my version or interoperability if I have a
version of Word that came with my computer the home office I haven't activated
as it costs which is why I downloaded Apache/OpenOffice.
This is not the first time that when I open Apache, write my note and hit save
where it automatically saves my file in Word! Yes Word! Why should your program
be saving my stuff in Word???
The free version I have downloaded here is 4.1.10
When I open the program and select Text Document, type my note, and hit save as
type: I get ODF Text Document (.odt) (*.odt) as the type of document on that line to
choose! Not to be confused with the name of the note, I'm speaking of the line under
that! Now if I hit the dropdown of 'Save As Type" I do find two choices for an
OpenOffice product......! I only -and following the norm, don't change that line
when I am saving a product to choose! Never have I ever changed that line on any
program EVER!! What normally comes up there is the type of program that is being
saved!
Back to my question, why are my notes used w your product being saved as a Microsoft
"Word" Program????
