Re: [libreoffice-users] Cannot open DOCX file

Hi :)
Ahh, i am not sure.  Tbh i was hoping that there might be something immediately obvious and easy to 
fix or that it would stuggle to open and fixing that would fix the problem.  

LibreOffice 3.4.x branch tends to be better at opening docX than the 3.3.x branch but really the MS 
Office implementation of docX is sufficiently off-standards that other programs often have trouble 
with it.  

In MS Office you can usually save as Odt (the older 1.1 format) and that should open fine in 
LibreOffice.  The older Doc (without the X) format tends to be more widely compatible with more 
programs at the moment tho.  

Looking at 
http://www.mobisystems.com/android_office/
it seems that Android's Office can't handle Odt yet but that seems very unlikely.  I think try 
saving as an Odt in Word and then try opening on the Android.  

So, i think i would test the odt on Android but then stick to using Doc for the next few months.  
Regards from
Tom :)
