Hi :)
Thanks for the feedback there. I didn't get time to try it anyway today so
thanks for the report :) Someone tried creating a leaflet in Word today. It's
a very clumsy tool for stuff like that. I suggested he could use Publisher or
Writer but he stuck with Word. [Sighs deeply] nvm. It's more confirmation to
my boss that we need LibreOffice installed :)
Regards from
Tom :)

WordPad 6.1 (on Windows 7) provides less functionality for ODF documents than
does Microsoft Office. It is like an improved Windows Write (remember that?)
with the ribbon. It will open and save .docx, .odt, .rtf, and .txt. It doesn't
have text flow around images - they just break the text wherever inserted, and
there are limiting formatting options, no styles, minimal page setup, bulleted
lists, but no auto-numbering, etc.
It is a nice way to make simple documents - it comes with the OS. It is not a
substitute for Microsoft Office Word (or LibreOffice Text) as a document
producer.

Hi :)
How good did it look in WordPad? Was the formatting seem about right? Did you
have pictures or text-boxes in the file that were in about the right place in
WordPad?
I have only ever used WordPad as a slightly inadequate text-editor but the
problems i have with it are because it's really a word-processor. If it handle
odt well then it might open up opportunities to get odf files into Word with a
lot less hassle. At the moment i have to set various options in
Tools - Options
such as downgrading to the ODF 1.1 format that is used by Word 2010. Even then
Word just doesn't have the sophisticated options for placing pictures in
interesting ways. If WordPad looks like it's worth exploring then that would be
fantastic!
Regards from
Tom :)

I uninstalled Open Office and installed LibreOffice. Now if I click on a .ODT
file it opens in WordPad instead of Writer. How can I easily fix this for
all LibreOffice apps on Win7 Pro 64 bit? Thanks.
