filename,

and then save a copy in Office format for my clients, who use Word and
Microsoft Office. I can't dictate to paying clients what software to

use to

open my invoices.



Maybe it's just me, but isn't PDF just perfect for invoices? Why send a
word document to your clients unless you want them to be able to edit your
invoice? And why would you want that? Sorry for not understanding, it's
probably simple and I just misunderstood everything, stupid as I probably
am.


My client enters this information into his own records. For his ease of

use I send him a format that makes it easy for him, rather than having to
type it all in himself.



Depending on how the PDF was created it's usually possible to copy text in
paste it somewhere else. PDFs created by LibreOffice Writer usually work in
that matter.






If LO can't export a simple spreadsheet embedded in a document to a
current MS format, or read back what it wrote, then they should not be
included as options to export to.

I use this system for my business. It has to work, or I have to use
something else.



Anyway, I just tested to embed a spreadsheet in a text file, I saved it as
docx, closed everything and reopened it in LibreOffice Writer. The
spreadsheet was still embedded, so maybe something got corrupted in your
file.




Hmm, ok, thanks. So it's something on my end. Perhaps some tweak done by
Linux Mint or Ubuntu.
Or something in my own set up.



Forgot to mention that I would have tested to open the docx file in Word,
but I can't do that since I don't have it installed (I don't have Windows).
My operating system is Ubuntu 14.04 at the moment (I'm planning to switch
to ArchLinux, that's why I didn't bother to install a newer Ubuntu). I
tested this with LibreOffice 5.2.6.2. I have a couple of other versions of
LibreOffice installed as well, so maybe I could test with your version as
well, if you tell me which one it is.


Kind regards

I can't just send it in ODF. Unless MS Office has suddenly decided to
support reading ODF files. Last time I tried it didn't.  I could send

it in

PDF, and will if I have no other choice.

Well that must be a problem with the crap mailer you use. A simple
reply works fine for me.



No, my message was crap (it's my signum), not the mailer. In fact, I

don't

even know what a ”mailer” is. Email client? If so, I don't use one. I

use

the web thing.


Have a nice day, you too.
