Word Processing Problems - Word,Works and Open Office!

Hi
With OpenOffice word processor you can set the default to doc.
Look in Tools > Options > Load/Save > General
Look for the box that says 'Always save as..'

Well, ICI or not....as a business using unlicenced software how would you fancy a £50,000 fine? They wouldn't find out? Well, someone could get a £10,000 reward for informing on you! Better stick to OPenOffice.

I think I just need to get used to Open Office, I probably didn't give it a proper chance last time.

I hardly think me using my sister's Word 2000 would generate quite the same fine as a London Company with an unlicensed Office on 30 computers. As I said, along with my hard drive it died beginning of this year anyway. If MS will pay £10k for that info, sounds like easy money for someone!

Thanks Bat999 :T, just what I need.

Thanks also aarrgghh

Word 2010 can open and save in Open Document format. 2007 can open them, but not sure about saving.

If you think you might in future need to send invoices via email I'd stick to .doc format.

I support a company who uses Openoffice for a couple of years now and they save all their documents in ODF. If they need to send a document by email they just create a PDF.

And why would anybody need an invoice in an editable format?

Exactly. Not only do they not need it, you wouldn't want them to have it.
