Default How do i open staroffice file in word?

That's hilarious. He doesn't use a Microsoft product, therefore, he's
disingenous.

Your friend was probably being disingenuous assuming your Word would
open Staroffice SDW files. OpenOffice (www.openoffice.org), the "free"
version of Star Office, can save files in Word DOC format. Ask your
friend to please resave/resend the file in a mutually-capable format,
e.g. Word DOC, RTF, text, html, etc.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

This disingenuousness was in assuming the Microsoft product did things that
it does not. Disingenuous is sometimes used as a synonym for naive.

No, "ingenuous" is sometimes used as a synonym for "naive." "Disingenuous"
means "not straightforward, craft." I assumed that the poster meant that the
sender's intention in sending the file was to point up Word's deficiencies.

I looked this up, before commenting, as it seemed an odd choice of word. I
had assumed that the sender merely hadn't realised that Word wouldn't open
the file.

Whoops, that should be "crafty." My off-the-cuff definition would have been
"scheming."
