Re: [nl-users] Libre Office Writer does not open Word-files

Hello Jan,
As I know Ubuntu 12.04 has an older version 3.6.
My suggestion is try to open it in the latest version 4.2.0.4 installed 
on your Vista.
This version is improved to open windows documents files, as I have readed.

I wish you success regards Theo
