You would need to use the 'save as' command in OpenOffice and save the file as MS Office format.
Earlier it was not possible but now Microsoft has released a update to open 2007 files using office 2003. More on this at http://new-digital-world.blogspot.com/2008/03/office-2007-files-to-office-2003.html
Absolutely - I have both programs on my computer and Open Office will happily open MS Works files.
You mean run them at the same time? Sure, why not. I haven't used either in a while, but you can open files created in either suite with the other one, but you usually have to save the MS Office file using an older file format that Open Office can understand. I've done it before flawlessly. The only thing I've noticed is that the formatting might look slightly different in Open Office, but goes back to normal in MS Office. By now, the latest MS Office should be backwards compatible with Open Office, but read the documentation. Better yet, when you save a file in MS Office, save it as you would a normal file. Then save-as and choose the older file format, e.g. MS Office 2007. Open both up in Open Office, and see if you get a prompt. If they both open up fine, you're good to go. I don't think there are really any problems with Open Office files opening in MS Office. The open-source community is really good at making sure Open Office files can be read using MS.
Open it using MS Office 2007 or later or even OpenOffice.org supports this. Other options are LibreOffice, KOffice, etc. Online versions include Google Docs and Microsoft Office Live.
Yes, it is possible to open a MS Works data file with Open Office. MS Works data files are generally stored with a ".was" extension, and they are documents produced by Microsoft Works, an office suite developed and distributed by Microsoft. While MS Works is no longer supported by Microprokey, the file format is still quite common and can be opened using software such as Open Office. Open Office is a free, open-source office suite that is developed and maintained by the Apache Software Foundation. It supports a variety of file formats, including MS Works data files. To open a MS Works data file with Open Office, simply launch the program, click on the "File" menu, select "Open", and choose the file from its location. Open Office will then open the file and display it in its workspace.
You do not. It must be saved in compatibility mode for you to open it with office 2003.
Yes, You can use MS Office 2013 to read and save MS office 2000 files. You can use the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack to allow backward compatibility, so that previous versions of Office can open and save files in the new file format.
Open Office will read Word files without any problems ! I used MS word for years before I encountered OpenOffice. Once I started using the new software, it read every document saved in MS office format !Open office can save documents either as open document format (the default) or as MS word if you choose it from the drop-down menu when you save it !
try reinstalling it worked for me
Usually there is no need to convert, since Open Office can read excel files (except Open Office probably will have problems with macros). If you have Excel 2007, then save the file in Office 2003 compatibility mode.
Only if you have an application on your MAC that is compatible with Excel and Word files. Most word processor programs have a way to import MS Word files and most spreadsheet programs can open MS Excel files. The best way to find out if your MAC has that capability is to try to open a file and see what happens.
