problems......
Hi,
I recently bought a 2nd hand computer which has open
office as it's default .My problem is that all my existing documents etc
etc as well as spreads are in windows, so I now have to run 2 computers ,
side by fucking side, which is a poxy nuisance because the ONLY reason
I'd use apache anything is to access the internet........so I've to
write a document or whatever in word .Access /excel on one computer,
then save it on a stick before transferring the stick to my new PC,
which has internet access........ I can't save or
convert open office to windows and vice versa, so what do i do?go out
and BUY a windows 8, or is there a conversion option available in
OpenOffice??It's like having a book in Chinese but no way of translating
it to English......it's appropriate u call urselves apache..i
feel like I've been scalped, open office is as useful as a chocolate teapot,
sincerely,
Tubbs

@endadreynolds: For your information Apache http server is a different product to Apache OpenOffice; these are both products under the auspices of the Apache Software Foundation <www.apache.org>, which oversees more than 150 major software products. Apache OpenOffice is an Office suite, comprising wordprocessor, spreadsheet, presentation application and other useful utilities.

Help us understand your situation more closely so that someone might volunteer a solution.
1. Tell us about your existing computer.
What version of operating system does it have? If Windows, what version - 95, XP, 7, ?
What version of Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel does it have?
Is it files on this computers that you want to move to the new one?
2. Tell us about the new computer.
What version of operating system does it have? Linux, Windows, something else?
What version of OpenOffice does it have?
Are you wanting to use files from the old computer on the new computer?
Are you wanting to produce Word and Excel format using OpenOffice and learn the ways to do that?
What files from the existing computer were you not able to open using OpenOffice on the new one?
