Re: [libreoffice-users] LibO3.3 hangs up when saving an *.odt as *.doc

Hi :)

There is no need to use the ".docx" or ".doc" formats anymore.  The ".doc" has 
often been responsible for spreading macro-viruses and things although you wont 
get those from a LibreOffice or OpenOffice origin.  The ".odt" format is much 
safer.

MS Office 2007 & 2010 can open and edit ".odt" so it is only people with MS 
Office 2003 and earlier that might have trouble.  These earlier editions are 
increasingly vulnerable to malware because support and patches are unlikely now.

One work-around is to give people the download link so they can upgrade to a 
modern Office Suite and nothing is more up-to-date than LibreOffice right now.  
OpenOffice's newest release only has about half the improvements that 
LibreOffice has.  They can keep using MS Office for the few things they still 
might feel they need it for because LibreOffice can work along-side it.  So, a 
quick link to LibreOffice's download page will do them a big favour.

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Just tried it. Opened a 4 page odt file in LibO3.3 and saved to MS Office 2000 
doc file. No problem on Win 7 64bit. I'll try it on Ubuntu 10.10 shortly.
