Re: beginning with OO, how to save as docbook
It may be that option isn't available in earlier versions of AOO - it certainly is in version 4.1.5. You might consider upgrading to a current version.

Re: beginning with OO, how to save as docbook
And it available in the LibreOffice. I checked it in my LO 4.4.7 an the LO 6.0.3 versions.
I never tried than file format, therefore I do not know if the conversion works well or not.

Re: beginning with OO, how to save as docbook
I don't have the DocBook option on AOO 4.1.5 Windows 7 even after downloading the DocBook template from Getting Started With DocBook on OpenOffice.
If you (robleyd) have it, could it be as an Add-on? I am on 4.1.5 Rev 1817496 and when I check for updates I am told I am fully up to data.

That LO has it is not the point.
robleyed has it with AOO 4.1.5 on Linux. I am fully up to date with AOO 4.1.5 on Windows but I do not have it. I have a vanilla AOO install so why don't I have it?
The original poster may be back-level or may have the same problem I appear to have.

I have just checked - I'm using Windows Save dialogs, not OO dialogs. On that machine I have only English dictionaries and Language Tool installed.

I completely uninstalled AOO and renamed my old profile. I downloaded AOO from the download site and installed it as a vanilla install where I selected Install everything. I started Writer (not AOO itself) and was asked to fill in my name which I did. I now have a completely standard AOO installation.
I now go File > Save As..., and I get this ... which does not have DocBook.
Two things.
1 You say you use the Windows dialogues not the AOO dialogues. Can you explain further - please remember that I am a bear of very little brain ...
2 What do you as options - am I missing more?
This is what I have installed.

I searched Help with DocBook and eventually came across
I then went Tools > XML Filter settings and got this:XML Filter Settings
Some filters are only available as optional components during the OpenOffice installation. To install an optional filter, run the OpenOffice Setup application, select "Modify", and then select the filter that you want in the list of modules.
I will continue digging.

Re: beginning with OO, how to save as docbook
I did as Help suggested and Modified the install - I added some filters but it made no change even after rebooting.
What do you see when you go Tools > XML Filter settings...? I get this:
Do you know where the XML filters are located? I cannot find them in the Profile. When I try editing MS Word 2003 XML I get taken to C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenOffice 4\share\xslt\export\wordml\ooo2wordml.xsl.

I am beginning to think it is a problem with Windows 7. Rory's XP is OK.

Thanks. I have just done a vanilla install of AOO 4.1.5 on a W10 machine and it is exactly the same as my W7 machine - no DocBook and none of those filters.
When you Edit ..., the DocBook XML which file does it point to? And when you Edit ..., the MS Word 2003 XML which file does it point to?

Re: beginning with OO, how to save as docbook
My AOO 4.1.2 version has the DocBook option by default (without any extra extensions), but my AOO 4.1.5 (winPenpack) portable version has not.

Re: beginning with OO, how to save as docbook
My version of AOO is exactly the same as yours, except for Linux. I have no extensions related to it, and the Linux install doesn't have any options to install or not install some options of AOO as the Windows install does; it is all or nothing. I'll start my Win 7 virtual machine and see what is in there.If you (robleyd) have it, could it be as an Add-on? I am on 4.1.5 Rev 1817496 and when I check for updates I am told I am fully up to data.
~~~ time passes ~~~
Aha - using 4.1.4 and a vanilla install I found no docbook option; however going back and re-running the install and adding XSLT sample filters from the Optional Components gives the option to save as docbook.

They are not present in my W7 installation.
I do have the three files you mention in the AOO Installation files so I guess that there is a bug in the Windows installer and it does not install them. I created a folder C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenOffice 4\share\xslt\docbook\ and copied the three files into it but it did not make any difference. I think they need to be "installed" via the New dialogue in Tools > XML Filter Settings ...., but I have no idea how to do it.
I will raise a bug report.

The solution to your problem is
1. Stop AOO. If you still have the folder called OpenOffice 4.1.5 (en-GB) Installation Files left over from when you installed 4.1.5 jump to step 3. IF not download AOO from http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html
2. Install it. During the install do you see the screen shown at Step 3? If you do see it, select Modify and jump to Step 4.
If you did not see that screen, continue and you will eventually be left with a folder called OpenOffice 4.1.5 (en-GB) Installation Files.
3. In that folder you will see a file called setup.exe. Double click it. Follow the instructions till you get to the screen below where you select Modify.
4. This takes you to the Custom Setup screen. Click the [+] next to Optional Components
5. You need to remove the X. Click the arrow next to XSLT Sample Filters and choose This feature and all sub-features will be installed on the local hard drive.
6. Start AOO and all will be fixed.

You have the three files so you should be able to install it with Tools > XML Filter settings > New ..., but I don't know how. Help may give some clues, as should examining with those which are already installed.
This is what I see when I select DocBook and edit it. It may therefore just be a case of adding the files, and then putting them in these three fields.
