Hello everybody, complete newbie with Open Office over here.

I recently received some *.sdg files, and as far as I can tell they are Open Office gallery files? But for the life of me I can't figure out how to open/use them?
I did verify that gallery extension packages do contain SDG files, the ones I have are quite a bit bigger (around 60 meg) than the sample I downloaded, I even tried to "hack" the OXT file, deleting the original SDG file (inside the archive), and replacing it with one of the files I was sent, also renaming it to the original name before. It actually installed just fine, but I could see nothing in Writer/Draw Gallery?

Help!

SDG files are (were?) Star Office Gallery files.
My research shows that these files are designed to work with very old versions (1.0 - 1.2) of Star Office.
The latest versions of Open/LibreOffice, while having a base in StarOffice, may not have the code to handle these files any longer.
I'm going to suggest that you extract the files and then convert them to a more up-to-date format. Personally I like working with .jpg/jpeg formatted picture files.

Yeah, that's what my research revealed too, I ended up here because it seemed like OPen Office/ Libre Office , were the "offspring" of star office, and there is no user groups I could find for Star Office

Question is, how do I convert? I can't find anything online? Can Star Office 1.2/2.0 still be downloaded?
Why would a professor from Yale still be using Star Office 2.0 in 2018! Lolz

You should be able to download and install an earlier version of OpenOffice or StarOffice. Try

Can you upload one of YOUR .sdg files here?
