Stupid Open Office!!<br><br>
I did all this work yesterday on a document for school and today all the formatting, tables, and pictures I put in there are gone. It's just plain text. This is going to take me forever to fix. I don't have forever!!!<br><br>
Then is it just going to disappear again when I save it, like it apparently did yesterday?<br><br><img alt="sad2.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad2.gif"><br><br><br><br><br><span style="font-size:xx-small;">I know, it's my own fault for not buying MS Word, right? <img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif"></span>

Did you save it in Office format?

 

[seattlegirl]

Everytime I close and reopen the document, all the formatting disappears!!!<br><br>
WTF? I don't have time to drive 22 minutes to school to work on it. I have to work again tonight.

 

[seattlegirl]

not yet. I saved it as a .ODT, thinking I'd save it in office format when I was ready to take it to school and print.<br><br>
I'll try that.

I never work on complex document between Open Office and MS Office. Spreadsheets convert OK, but documents are all screwed up.

 

[Martin]

ODT should have been fine.<br><br>
???<br><br>
Have you got the latest version?

 

[seattlegirl]

Oh bless you, Martin!! That worked.<br><br>
Why does it default to a useless file type when you hit Save???? Who the hell thought that was a good idea?

 

[Martin]

I'm happy it ended up fine!<br><br>
Make sure to make a back up copy before you convert it to another format!
