Re: [libreoffice-users] Microsoft Works

Hi :)
That is good to hear.  Do they look ok when you open them or is the formatting all messed up?  

I would tend to favour using Works to change the format to doc, xls etc so that all the different 
Office Suites could open them properly.  Hopefully soon most Office Suites will handle ODF 1.2 
formats properly as it's a much better and safer format.  The time of the doc and xls formats is 
likely to draw to a close as MS need to push people into using their newer products.  Hopefully 
thee might be a way to do the conversion from the command-line and if so then it might be possible 
to convert a large number of documents quite quickly using some sort of script or batch file or 
something.  
Regards from
Tom :)
