Can we use openoffice documents directly in the openmeetings without
converting them?
In openmeetings the openoffice documents are first converted into pdf and
swf formats before getting dislpayed on the white board. Can we display the
contents directly in the office documents form and make the changes in the
files that will be visible to the other participants in the conference.

Hi Rishi,
Isn't that what George replied already?
Screen sharing (live screens) will enable you all to share the one
document in its native form.

Hey,
I think you mis-understood the mail. I want that the open office
documents to be directly shared among the users in a conference and can
be used for editing, marking etc without converting it into other
formats like pdf and swf formats. Is it possible to do so?
Or can we share live screens using openmeetings?

I believe the solution you want is "Screen Sharing" with or without
enabling remote control for other users.
To give people a good resolution, I recommend screen sharing from a PC
that has smaller screen resolution than any of the PCs that people are
using to view the shared screen, that way they can display the screen at
100% (zoom of 100), which gives great screen quality.
Thanks,

Rishi,
Yes I do understand. But for OpenMeetings, the only way you can share
the "actual" document while it is being edited is via "Screen Sharing",
because the only way to edit a document is in the document's actual
program, e.g. Microsoft Excel document can be edited by Microsoft Excel,
and by OpenMeetings screen sharing Excel from your desktop, all users
can view it while you edit it.
If you want other users to be able to edit the document, then allow them
to remote control the shared screen.
This does work quite effectively, as long as people have patience, as
screen sharing is not fast, but it does work.
Thanks,
George Kirkham
