You might be able to read it, but you can't edit it and return it to the sender with the same formatting. It's just as bad as someone saving in the latest doc format. When I ran doze exclusively, I couldn't open that format and edit it. I write things that need to be viewed in OEs like doze and on a MAC. I really don't want to spend a grand just to load a malfunctioning POS of an OS and office suite I only use the word processor on. Now I can't format a paragraph, save the document and expect to see the SIMPLE formatting when i open the document back up.Ĭan someone please help me with this? I'm beginning to think M$ had it right and Linux is dead wrong with how things have gone this past month. However, I'm forced to use this version because Mandrivel was all that would load and Mandrivel refuses to let me use GoOO. It looks like an HTML document without space between lines.įirst, I would MUCH rather have GO-OpenOffice than this version, since that's what I used before I switched to Linux. However, no matter what I do, the document opens and from the third paragraph on, there is NO formatting. 1' margins, single spaced lines and 1/4' paragraph indent. However, I can't save ANY of the SIMPLE formatting of the document. However, even if I set up the formatting for a single SIMPLE document, I CAN save it as RTF. All I want to do is set up default page formatting in writer, save my documents as RTF files, since that format is what most operating environments can read, and leave things at that. I've read what I could find on OOPS! Writer, saved new templates, loaded saved templates, uninstalled, reinstalled, and finally gotten to the point of asking for help, since the help files, FAQs and database don't seem to cover what I'm up against.
