Hi,
I have to send documents to people using windows, but my documents are .odt. I can tell oowriter to save a copy, say, as .doc, but then oowriter switches to that document, instead of staying with the original .odt. I have to remember that, and reopen the .odt file before writing anything else.
I wonder if there would be an utility, a button, a macro, to say: "save another copy for windows users" in .doc, .docx, etc. And keep OO with my .odt opened.
There is also the handy MultiSave extension (Tools > Extension Manager), which allows you to save to .doc or .pdf or both as well as .odt, and does not change the .odt that you are editing. Works well for me.
And what is the name of the extension you installed? I looked through the "Get more extensions online..." list and didn't see anything there. (Could be my eyes missed it.)
It's "Multisave" indeed, but it doesn't appear in the (er... my) Extension Manager.
Neither is it on the list on http://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:OpenOfficeExtensions/List
But here it is: http://libreoffice-na.us/English/extensions.html
It's called "StarXpert MultiSave 1.2.1" (MultiSave enables you to save simultaneoulsly a document in the OpenDocument, MS Office and/or PDF formats as you choose.)
It works.
Thanks for the info. I have it installed and will try it out shortly. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
