Xcross87 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 I'm curious a little about opening format Docx in OpenOffice 2.0 I searched through Net, they all use odf-converter after alienating RPM into Deb Pkg and make use of it. Is it possible in our Mandriva? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 I think you need Open Office 3 to do docx files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniewicz Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 I have Open Office 3.01 on Mandriva 2008.1, and I am able to open docx files with no problem. :unsure: If you launch Open Office from a terminal and attempt to open a docx file, are there any error messages reported in the terminal screen?

scarecrow Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 I can confirm that OOo 3.X does open docx documents, albeit with some quirks. Currently using go-oo 3.1 rc, and it also opens docx without issues, but I think I will go back to "plain" openoffice: this thing crashes a lot, and I do not really need integration of crappy mono.

yossarian Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Did you install OO 3 from the Mandriva repos, or did you download the package from the site? I installed OO on my wife's XP netbook, and after installation I had to install a separate plugin to open docx files (the plugin was available on OO site). On the other hand, I installed OO on my Mandriva laptop from the repos, and it opens docx files without a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theYinYeti Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) You may be able to open a docx document with Go-OO's OpenOffice2.4 (the one that used to be in Mandriva before Go-OO's OpenOffice3) by renaming the file with the “.xml†extention instead. I open OOXML Excel files this way. Yves. (There's a bug with column “Z†in Calc though… don't ask me why…) Edited May 13, 2009 by theYinYeti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
