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.
No, but there is a button to export as PD (or menu item, but you can make it into a button). That's what I use to send things to people using windows. Seriously: yes you can write a macro but no I've not written one myself. As I said ... PDFs ... I get a couple of thousand hits googing for "openoffice macros examples" but what strikes me is that the object oriented language is as bad as visual basic or JavaScript ...
