docx2odt converters
Hello all,
I received a mail from a user having difficulties importing MS Word
documents to AOO. Here is the text of the message :
"I am having a problem displaying a C/D (that is formatted in Word) , but I
have Apache Open Office installed on my Win.10 system. I would like to
avoid having to go through Google & I would like a free program".
As I never import MS documents in AOO, I have no experience with such a
problem. I'd like to know if somebody has an experience with the docx2odt
converters available on the web.
Many thanks for your help.

I have no experience with docx conversions other than as handled by OpenOffice; I have used and recommend the free online service of
www.zamzar.com
for assorted conversions to/from various file formats.
I think they also provide a pay service.
However, conversion to/from differing formats always carries an overhead of some possible reformatting; how much of this is acceptable from any given conversion process is a matter for the individual.

@ Carl Marcum
Hello,
His question was not totally clear indeed, but I suppose it was a problem
to open .docx files in AOO from a CD (generally there is no problem with
.doc format). So, I have sent him in 2 mails the different possibilities to
solve the problem but as he didn't answer up to now, I don't have more
information.
Best regards,
Guy Waterval

Hello Guy,
I can't tell from this what the issue is. Is it docx format and what
happens when opened in AOO?
Best regards,
Carl

MSO is able to import(!) ODF (limited) since MSO2003 with an additional
app provided by [SUN|MS]. Since MSO 2007 it is able to do it out of the
box (still limited) but enough for normal use cases. The support of ODF
is getting better with each version.
I guess the user talks about MSO2003 (the kast one with "classic" UI)
without having that extension (or converter, OI cannot remember how they
called it) installed!
Best,
Dennis

MS-Office (since 2016) can save as ODF.
