Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 25766
Saving as doc, re-opening and saving again
Last modified: 2004-02-25 14:05:12 UTC
I have downloaded yesterday the latest version of OpenOffice in the Dutch language (i guess it will be the RC5 package). I tried out the word application and encountered some problems with it. I create a new document, write text and save it as a word (xp) document and close the entire application. Lateron when i want to make some adjustments I open the application and the file. Then when I want to save it again, using the quick-save button, it tells me that the file format can cause problems using the word application and ask if it must proceed. If I acknowledge it ask again under wich filename it must be saved and I have to reselect the file- type. I hope this isn't a too big a problem to resolve, because it's quite annoying. Thank you.
set to invalid. this question is the standard question for foreign document formats. answer with no if this message pops up an this file will be saved in the same format as before.
invalid -> closed
ps: it is possible to set a different default format. open the dialog tools -> options -> load/save -> general and change the "standard file format" to ms word 97/2000/xp if you have to work more with ms-file formats.
