Not possible to save in Word-versions

Post by kavoni »

Hi

I have been using Open Office for years - without problems.... but suddenly now I can't save Writer files in the Word-versions - only in ODT....
When I try to save in a Word-version, the page freezes and I have to close Open Office and start all over again....
What is wrong...?

Tips:
- Reset your use profile in the AOO
- Reinstall the full AOO software. Make a clean reinstall (delete manually the rest part of the use profile and the program after unistall the AOO).
- Try the LibreOffice

Please, edit the initial post in the topic: add the word [Solved] at the beginning of the subject line - if your problem has been solved.

See [Tutorial] Differences between Writer and MS Word files for a description of differences and for why you should always work in, and save Writer files as .odt, Calc files as .ods, Impress files as .odp etc.

See the Writer Guide, the Writer FAQ, the Writer Tutorials and Writer for students.

Remember: Always save your Writer files as .odt files. - see here for the many reasons why.
