    As stated above there is no option to save OpenOffice Draw files as bitmaps. However if saved as a .odg file it can be copied into an OO Writer file and saved as a .doc or .docx. The problem is that on occasion - and somewhat unpredictably - formatting can be lost. The best option all round is to export the work as a .pdf file direct from OO Draw - simply using the PDF button on the taskbar.
    My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016). :(

    For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com

    The only problem is 'correcting ' the home work .
    Exporting as a PDF works :D

    Viewing ( using free Foxit ) works :D

    But editing !! ( correcting ) would need ?? a PDF editor
    Is there a free version.
    The home work this morning only needed a small change ,
    she used $ instead of £ , but I had to do it the Open Office suite.

    I know there is a lot of happy Open Office users , always going on how wonderful it is . But when you get Ms Office cheaply .. Education user , finding a pupil
    using Open office has given me ( us :rotfl:) food for thought this morning.

    For a veriety of reasons I maintain both MS Office and OpenOffice on my works laptop. They seem to coexist without issue and the fact that OO is entirely free makes it something of a no brainer.
