How do i open staroffice file in word?
That's hilarious. He doesn't use a Microsoft product, therefore, he's
disingenous. "Rob Schneider" wrote: 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. rms Gail wrote: I do not have Staroffice but a friend sent me many files in SDW form that I don't know how to open in Word. I can't find any converter at Microsoft. |

This disingenuousness was in assuming the Microsoft product did things that
it does not. Disingenuous is sometimes used as a synonym for naive. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org ilitrt wrote: That's hilarious.

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. -- Suzanne S.

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. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S.

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