OpenOffice won't let me open docs done in Works
Posted: Mon Apr 11, 2016 5:12 am
I own Microsoft WORKS which has an easy program
for adding and last year and most years I have done
my TAXES with this program.
Meanwhile, I also have
OPEN OFFICE.
Well, last August they revised OPEN OFFICE so that
I can no longer open anything that i ever did in
Microsoft Works.
I can't open my 2014 TAX Forms that were done in Works,'
and usually I just use the 2014 Forms and change 2014 to 2015
and i'm good to go. I fill in the blanks, do the changes and it's easy.
NOW IT"S IMPOSSIBLE because Open Office won't let me open
any of my documents in Microsoft WORKS>
This all happened after the update of Open Office in 2014.
How can I stop Open Office from
"eating up" all my work which was done in Works??
As soon as i save anything in WORKS, it is no longer available to me in WORKS.
Will i have to uninstall OPEN OFFICE and get different word processor???
My problem is that if I email anything, no one can read it in Works, \unless I
put it into PDF.
PLEASE HELP ME, so I can finish my taxes!!
Thanks, Skippy
